Also known as 'scarpets', these shoes are rooted in the Friuli Venezia Giulia region between the 18th and 19th centuries. Simple yet full of character, they were born from the ingenuity and creativity of Friulian women.
The story begins in the rural villages of Friuli. Women crafted these slippers at home with recovered materials: fabric scraps, old canvas, worn bicycle tires. Sustainability and practicality.
Jute from port sacks, bleached hemp thread. Techniques passed down through generations.
Born as 'humble' footwear, they were worn for special occasions — festivals, weddings. Over time they became a symbol of discreet elegance and timeless comfort.
Handmade
Women in Friuli crafted slippers from recycled fabrics and rubber. Born from necessity, they became a symbol of ingenuity — nothing went to waste.

Artisan handsHow to spot the real thing: stitching, structure, details.
Zero glue: everything sewn. The structure holds through stitching alone.
Rubber sole from bicycle tires, as tradition dictates. Lightweight, flexible, anti-slip.
Insole is sewn in place to guarantee durability and breathability, not simply placed or adhered.
Internal heel reinforcement, sewn inside for greater stability and lasting shape.
External T-stitch between upper and midsole — the signature seam, strictly done by hand.
High-quality velvet with a smooth, luminous finish. Natural materials for lining and insole for prolonged comfort.
The 'scarpets' are more than shoes. They are craft, territory, expert hands. Wearing them means carrying a piece of culture.
Dry-clean or machine wash on delicate, max 30°C. The sewn construction holds its shape.
For stains, use a damp microfiber cloth, gently dabbing along the grain of the velvet, then dry with a clean cloth.
To remove dust and impurities, use a soft velvet brush following the direction of the nap.
To preserve their shape when not worn, store them with tissue paper inside. Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Handmade, timeless elegance. Choosing authentic friulane is an act of love for beauty.
