l'autre chose

Founded in 1959 in the heart of Italy's Marche region, a hub for high-end shoe production, the company initially operated as a family-run manufacturer. In 1987, the eponymous brand L'Autre Chose was launched, translating its manufacturing expertise into a distinct vision that merges Italian quality with a French-inspired aesthetic. The collections center on footwear, from structural boots to elegant sandals, and have expanded to include ready-to-wear and accessories that uphold the same dedication to refined materials and unique design. The brand is recognized for a style that is both sophisticated and spontaneous, appealing to a modern, eclectic woman. After an investment from the Sator fund in 2013, which acquired a majority stake in 2016, the brand has continued to evolve. A significant creative shift occurred in 2018 with the appointment of Nicolò Beretta as creative director. Known for his own footwear label, Giannico, Beretta was tasked with infusing the house's heritage with a fresh, contemporary, and often hyper-feminine energy.
