Travelling across Italy via motorbike, luxury shoe designer Rupert Sanderson indulged his obsession with Italian shoemaking by visiting as many traditional footwear factories, tanneries and last makers as possible. Launching his eponymous label in 2001, Sanderson used his knowledge of this Italian community to create sophisticated, sensual shoes with timeless appeal. His collections are known for their sleek lines, perfect proportions and exquisite attention to detail.
