Founded in 2014 by Paola Vitali D'Arcano and her husband Giorgio, Paola D'Arcano is an Italian footwear brand rooted in the craft traditions of the Lake Como region. Drawing inspiration from her family of artists and twenty years of experience in the fashion industry, the founder creates shoes that are entirely Made in Italy. The brand is recognized for its sophisticated use of materials, often mixing precious leathers with unique fabrics like printed silk twills, sourced from historic mills like Mantero. This approach results in a design signature that is both elegant and distinctive, with a feminine spirit that carries hints of vintage and baroque aesthetics.
