Throughout its history, production has gone through periods of economic, creative, management and expansion crises, but the close bond of the Cavallini family and their strong ties to everything the company stands for have succeeded at every turn in reviving what is now a great and solid world-renowned company, keeping it alive and always poised for change.

Evolution

When everything was about to stop because of the pandemic, our shoe factory had a real revolution, especially in the mental aspect.

Everything was grinding to a halt, but we didn’t want our message to stop.

This need, the continuous evolution and the desire to take this reality to a new level that catalyzes all the principles, values, and feelings of the shoe factory, has given birth to a Brand that expresses our craftsmanship in a more direct and close way to women.

That’s how the Cavallini brand was born in 2020.

It is a brand that makes unique footwear designed and handmade by expert craftsmen, distributed directly through online shops and showrooms.

All of this is aimed at giving voice to our idea of a woman who is firm and enterprising, refined and elegant.
