Leonardo Shoes

Florence is a place of inspiration and culture, where design is intertwined with history and everyday life. A transversal dimension that permeates the city and involves all its inhabitants, filling their lives with beauty. It is in this place that Leonardo Shoes was born , a luxury brand of artisanal leather goods made in Tuscany, born in 1986 from the brilliant mind of its founder, Anan Alshalabi . 

Of Palestinian origins, Anan studied in Rome and Perugia, and then identified Florence as his city of choice. Here he creates a brand that has its roots in Middle Eastern culture, intertwining it with the Renaissance allure of the search for ecstasy that beauty moves in the hearts of those who know how to observe. Thus his first refined artisanal creations were born , following the path of the ancient Tuscan manufacturing art of leather processing. 

Passion, creativity and determination led Anan to open his boutique in the heart of Florence, founding a luxury fashion brand of 100% made in Italy leather accessories. Quality of raw materials, craftsmanship and “made to measure” are the cornerstones around which the world of Leonardo Shoes develops , where Anan – supported today by his sons Karam and Omar – gives life to unique creations inspired by the timeless style of craftsmanship made in Florence.
