Elegant Casualwear Proposed Through Mixed Materials



Founded in 1929 in the historic Italian city of Bologna by Amedeo Testoni, "A.TESTONI" was established with the dream of "creating the world's most beautiful shoes." While refining the traditional techniques passed down through generations in the Bologna region, they perfected the Bolognese construction method in the 1950s, elevating Italian craftsmanship to the world's top tier. Today, the brand offers a wide range of items including men's and women's shoes, as well as leather wear and leather goods, earning global acclaim as a luxurious and fashionable brand.

The theme for A.TESTONI's 2014-15 Autumn/Winter collection is "Hybrid." It expresses a playful mix of forms and materials. The newly released half-boots and mini Boston bags are characterized by their sophisticated designs, combining pearly leather with real fur. By stitching together pieces of real fur cut from leather, they create a rich texture reminiscent of fringe, proposing an elegant casual style befitting the modern woman.

Available in two colorways: dark brown mink fur with lead grey leather, and natural-colored fox fur with bronze leather. The half-boots feature a wedge sole, ensuring not only design appeal but also exceptional comfort for walking. The mini Boston bag comes with a shoulder strap, offering versatile two-way wear. These half-boots and mini Boston bags are also featured in this season's campaign advertisements, embodying A.TESTONI's signature luxurious style.
