Since 1883 in Milan, shoes and accessories handmade in Italy: bespoke shoemaker, made-to-order service, prêt-à-porter both for men and women.
Calzoleria Rivolta is a shoemaker for bespoke, made to order and handmade 1883 Heritage prêt-à-porter shoes. Founded by Enrico Rivolta in 1883 in Via del Gesù in Milan. Calzoleria Rivolta soon made a name for itself, thanks to its exquisitely handcrafted bespoke shoes, using the most refined cobbling techniques. His son Franco moved to Via Verri, 4, always in the heart of Milan, continuing this cr
aftsmanship tradition. During the fervid years of the reconstruction of the ‘60s, Rivolta made-to-measure shoes became the ultimate in masculine elegance. In addition to many leading Milanese aristocratic and bourgeois families and cultural figures, clients came from all over Italy and overseas, especially from the UK. Today the brand legacy has been handed to Fabrizio Rivolta, a direct descendant of Enrico and Franco, who decided to dedicate his efforts to extending the family tradition and opened the new Rivolta atelier in 2009 in Via della Spiga 17 in Milan. Calzoleria Rivolta is characterised by the construction and aesthetical values of the tradition and by the innovation through next generation technology. A challenge that has been met by combining the style of the Milanese shoemaking school - elegantly rigorous and simple in shape - with technical expertise, a marked artisanal propensity and superior workmanship - Goodyear, Blake, Norvegese - and advanced digital processing. The product range, rigorously Made in Italy, is divided among various sectors: bespoke, personalized or made to order and 1883 Heritage in ready to wear. More sporty and less structured, but without forsaking the brand’s refinement and elegance, are the lightweight Aria loafers and the Marine collection, the last with a nautical flair but perfect in town as well. Rivolta also refers to the women world with a line that revisits the men’s classics, 1883 Heritage W. In addition, accessories - backpacks, overnight bags, document and credit card holders in leather or crocodile, also personalized - and a range of shoe care products. Lastly, there are shoe care cases of various sizes in mahogany and shoehorns in precious materials.
