this is the first time i am featuring zanacco and i am really loving the shoes. as a firm of second generation shoemakers in italy, they are carrying on the tradition but also moving with the times. it's rare that luxury shoe makers maintain a "green" ethos, but zanacco uses only materials sourced in italy and manufacture the collection with the use of "green" processes and eco friendly materials. leathers are vegetable tanned, glues are waterbased, soles are biodegradable and organic cottons used to deliver luxurious, yet natural products.
it's interesting that they are trying to build on the concept of "sustainable luxury", a term definitely more sincere than the commonly coined "affordable luxury".
here are a few of my personal favourites from zanacco's upcoming spring summer 2011 collection:

zanacco's strength definitely lies in the above hand crafted, made in italy shoes. those are so beautiful i would really love to check and try out in person. perhaps in a bid to modernise the company, they are venturing into casual footwear too, including the below sneakers:
to be honest, i'm rather lukewarm towards the sneakers. they seem to resemble sneakers from a certain french shoemaker. but it's a good move bringing the company forward. i guess with time the sneakers would/could be more refined. i look forward to that.
stocklist is pretty niche, but with artisan shoes we really would like the collection to remain small. see more of zanacco's designs at here.
love shoes, i do.
