The Spring/Summer 2015 Collection Themed “Player”


Based in Bologna, Italy, a.testoni is renowned for its traditional Bolognese-stitched shoes and luxurious bags. For this spring and summer, the brand presents a collection born from a unique aesthetic that pursues novelty and originality, centered around the theme of “Player.”

Luxurious Sneakers Debut


The latest collection, inspired by various “players” such as musicians and athletes, is a fusion of “elegance” and “informality” at a high level. It proposes a contemporary style that blends new designs with tradition.

The first thing to note in the collection is the materials. Alongside punched calfskin with an antique finish by skilled artisans, three types of woven materials are featured: soft, hand-finished kangaroo mesh, large-gauge see-through mesh, and cool raffia mesh.

The collection's main colors are navy, cloud grey (light grey), and denim, with luxurious sneakers tailored with complex cutting also available for women.

Each Line to Coordinate with Your Style


The “Amedeo Testoni” line, inspired by rowing boat players, features lace-up shoes with distinctive straps. The unique hand-finished colored leather with large polka-dot perforations and the light rubber sole create a summery finish.

In the “Black Label” line, synonymous with a.testoni's Bolognese construction, sporty lace-up plain-toe shoes inspired by soccer cleats make an appearance. Additionally, the balmoral cap-toe, with its elegant shape, embodies authentic Italian classical elegance.

From the second line, “New Stadium,” comes unlined tassel slip-ons made from high-quality suede in navy, brown, and neutral tones, as well as slip-ons with uppers crafted from woven raffia, inspired by jazz music.

Furthermore, this season's “City Running” line, the icon of “luxury informal,” offers three types of sneakers: ultra-soft see-through mesh nappa, a sporty combination of denim-colored calfskin and fabric, and colorful suede.

It is also worth noting the use of light and supple materials in the leather goods, such as colorful nappa leather and perforated leather, finished with exceptional softness.
