Founded in Copenhagen, Notabene is a footwear brand that merges minimalist Scandinavian design with the revered shoemaking traditions of Italy. For more than two decades, the brand, led by designer Martin Friis, has centered its approach on quality, comfort, and lasting style. The collections are designed in Copenhagen and brought to life in select family-owned workshops in Italy, where each pair is handmade with a deep respect for generational craftsmanship. This process ensures a focus on refined details and durable construction, intended to create shoes that last for multiple seasons.
