Fabiano Ricci

Fabiano Ricci makes men's shoes in Italy. The label takes its name from its founder, who set up the firm in 1992 after struggling to find the shoes he wanted to wear, so he made them himself. He launched it together with his wife.

The shoes come from the Marche region, long associated with Italian shoemaking, and are made by hand in a number of careful steps. Materials are dyed and treated using the brand's own methods. Expect contrasts such as soft suede, wool and technical textiles, along with distinctive colouring and a flexible shaft on some pairs.

The range runs from classic lace-ups to modern sneakers, and the sneakers are made 100% in Italy. The brand also trades as RFR Fabiano Ricci.
