Atelier

Le Furlé is made by a family-run atelier in Friuli Venezia Giulia, Italy. For four generations, they have made Furlane using techniques passed from one generation to the next.

Ben fat, in Friûl.Well made, in Friulian. Four generations of knowing how.

    Cutting

    Velvet or silk is cut by hand, panel by panel, from the pattern each family of Furlane is built on.

    Stitching

    The upper is assembled and stitched closed — the same motion, generation after generation.

  3. 03

    Soling

    The upper is joined to a flexible sole, in the tradition of the Friulana: made to move with the foot, not against it.

    Finishing

    Each pair is checked, brushed and paired by hand before it ever leaves Friuli.
