Paolo Mariani on his passion for shoemaking | BOTTEGA PAOLO MARIANI Gallery

The francesina with a closed lacing, for sophisticated occasions. The special dyeing is carried out by artisan Mariani with a well-calculated blend of Bordeaux and goose yellow, inspired by his intuition.
The Derby with an open lacing in suede. Mariani's hands create a magical model – comfort and beauty are perfectly proportioned.
The talented young artisan's first impression of Japan: “I think Japan is extremely orderly and quiet – it’s totally different from Italy, which can perhaps be excessively chaotic at times…”
Artisan Paolo Mariani on his first visit to Japan. This interview was conducted at the Cerulean Tower Tokyu Hotel (Shibuya, Tokyo).
Ankle boots constructed with Norwegian welting, the iconic style of Bottega Paolo Mariani. Approximately 500 stitches are meticulously hand-sewn along the side, robustly connecting the sole to the upper.
Kudu leather is used, adding an excellent antique patina to the boots in photo no. 2. Kudu is a species of antelope found in Southeast Africa, its appearance somewhat resembling a deer.
Models with a touch of sportiness, such as mountain boots, are also available, alongside rather reserved, elegant, and classic footwear.
A box for each shoe (2 boxes for 1 pair in total), another notable symbol of Bottega Paolo Mariani's philosophy, to prevent them from being stacked.
Mariani explains this protective separation as “a way to treat each with the utmost care – even a small bump between them could eventually cause minor scuffs.”
The crocodile leather loafer (2nd from left). Its modern and chic effect, thanks to such a unique color, elevates this shoe to another level.
