Discovering Cilento: A Hidden Treasure of Southern Italy

Nestled just south of the Amalfi Coast, Cilento is a quiet, authentic corner of Italy. Here, olive groves meet crystal waters, ancient history intertwines with living craft, and time slows down. This stunning landscape, with its vibrant colors and rich traditions, inspires our handcrafted shoes every day.

Paestum – Greek Temples by the Sea

Walk among three magnificent Doric temples from the 6th century BC. Feel the silence of history envelop you. The site includes a superb museum filled with sculptures, painted tombs, and everyday artifacts that bring Magna Graecia to life.

Castellabate – A Balcony Over the Tyrrhenian

Perched on a hill, Castellabate offers sweeping sea views. This charming village is a labyrinth of stone lanes, small piazzas, and terraces. It is perfect for a leisurely stroll, enjoying a coffee with a view, and savoring the taste of village life.

Vietri sul Mare – Colors that Inspire

World-famous for its ceramics, Vietri fills its streets and courtyards with bright patterns. Many of our leather motifs draw inspiration from these designs. We translate glazes and brushstrokes into unique textures and colors.

Palinuro and Marina di Camerota – Coves and Sea Caves

Here, the coast transforms into a mosaic of turquoise coves, golden sands, and hidden grottos. Boat trips reveal the enchanting Blue Grotto of Capo Palinuro and quiet beaches that feel wonderfully far from the world.

Certosa di Padula – Grandeur in the Valley

One of Europe’s largest charter houses, the Padula monastery showcases monumental courtyards, baroque staircases, and serene cloisters. It stands as a masterpiece of devotion and architecture.

Cilento and Vallo di Diano National Park – Nature and Tradition

A UNESCO site that stretches from mountains to sea, the park protects lush forests, flowing rivers, and quaint villages. Here, the Mediterranean diet remains a daily ritual. Expect to enjoy olive oil, fresh vegetables, local cheeses, and honest wines.

A Living Inspiration

Cilento is not merely a destination; it is a way of life. The scent of newly worked leather, the blue of the sea, and the vivid patterns of Vietri ceramics all come together to create a unique experience.
