As the story goes the only shoes the Venetian peeress Lucrezia Locheschi wore had to be created by some of the most famous shoemaker masters of the Riviera del Brenta, a very famous area close by Venice.
On the other hand, the characteristic Venetian glass beads, created with the traditional lampworking method, came from the very heart of the city of Venice, and it was with these glass beads that Lucrezia daily adorned herself.
The legend also tells how this 18th century fashion victim was obsessed both with shoes and Murano glass jewelleries, addiction that was the result of her unordinary love life. As a matter of fact, during her dates with her lover Giacomo Casanova, she was forced to wear only her precious shoes, Casanova also demanded to surprise her lying on the “talamo” dressed up only with the cherished Murano glass jewelries, expressly made by the Venetian women – the so-called perlere --who tread the glass beads as Casanova sought for her lover.
Thinking of Lucrezia, of the formerly 18th century past charm and the immortalized legend love sighs, Glamitalia presents in its collections the Glass Venetian shoes, a union that represents the re-birth of mixing the traditional Venetians passions together with the artisan luxury. Glamitalia brings in a new concept, a unique glance in which everything come out as a precious ornament: a pump adorned with fabulous Murano beads, sparkling ear-rings light up the face with gold and silver shades, wrists are ornamented with jingling bracelets and the shoe becomes itself a unique form of art .
In the Glamitalia collections, every single component is entirely hand-made in Venice, both the cobbling art and the glass art follow the long-established rules that the Italian fashion tradition imposes.
