ViBi VeneziaWomen's Mary Jane Velvet Ballet Flats

Handmade in Venice by passionate artisans—and inspired by traditional gondolier slippers—these velvet Mary Janes, known as furlanes, are crafted of the best Italian materials using skills passed down from generation to generation. The furlana is the quintessential Venetian slipper: the name dates back to the XIX century, when a few ingenious ladies from Friuli began producing footwear with left-over fabrics and old bicycle tires. Today, the tradition thrives with luxurious fabrications and construction that feels as good as it looks.
