All true, Fanga , the new men 's shoe brand founded by two young Bolognese aged 24 and 25, will offer a collection of completely handmade men 's footwear .
Fanga in the Bolognese dialect means precisely shoe , and it
is from here that in 2016 the entrepreneurial project of Lorenzo Fusina (25
years old) and Bruno Riffeser Monti (24 years old) started , who at the end of
their studies, decided to focus on tradition for interpret the future; starting
from the root to develop a niche product made in Italy, completely and only by
hand, to enhance and embellish exclusivity to the maximum and be witnesses of
the cultural values of our country.
“We wanted to reinterpret the concept of handmade shoes:
from a simple product to a shared experience. A shoe that can be imagined, also
designed together, becomes a palpitating testimony of the beauty of the
one-of-a-kind piece. With a work that is very close to that of a high fashion
atelier ” , explain Lorenzo Fusina and Bruno Riffeser Monti.
A style, that of Fanga, which abandons the simple appearance
and the screamed brand to go deeper into history, in the artisan rites of the
Masters who cut and sew leather according to slow but sure rhythms, in the wise
knowledge of those who still work with their hands and creates masterpieces of
art. From the carving of the shape to the design of the model, from the cut of
the leather to the stitching and the addition, from the shaping of the sole to
the padding and finishing: each Fanga shoe is the reflection of attentive eyes
and comes to life from the slow and meticulous work of expert hands .
Each shoe is entirely hand-sewn using the Goodyear method ,
a technique that gives exceptional comfort and resistance to a truly exclusive
product; or through the “Bologna” building .
The study of the design, the choice of the correct shape,
the development of the model, the selection of materials and colors and the
finish are essential elements in the production of each individual shoe: a
creative process that results in a perfectly finished product thanks to masterful
workmanship.
A secret, very rare experience that feeds on the desire and
the expectation of the object made by those who keep techniques that have
almost disappeared, footwear for men also embellished with personal details ,
made of precious metal, which everyone can choose according to their passion
and individuality: a small drawing, your initials, a lucky charm to keep in
your heart, a coded message to be recognized in a circle of friends.
The Fanga shoes you can also order custom choosing leathers,
colors, patterns. Shoes that require a certification of about 2/3 months, with
a price that starts from 1,300 up to 10,000 euros. Instead, it takes about 2
months to make a shoe for the boutique, on sale at a price from 750 to 1,300
euros
