When shoes become almost art
Stories
Some shoes are meant to disappear quietly under trousers. Others deserve to be seen. At Mascolori, it often starts with the second idea.
Jacquard, cork, metallics, patent leather, prints and artists' work can turn a classic shoe shape into something closer to an object. Wearable, but not invisible.
Mascolori works from Rotterdam with artists and makers who bring their own visual language into the design.
All Mascolori shoes are made in Portugal. Unusual materials and outspoken designs need flexibility, which is why we like working with manufacturers who can handle smaller runs.
The best designs still have to work as shoes: they need to fit, walk well and make an outfit stronger. Explore our statement shoes for men or read more about our production in Portugal.
