The ‘Artesano Stitch’ is a strong design statement created by linking the sole to the upper with double-needle
threading. The technique uses a waxed thread to close the seam securely by hand along the edge of the sole's
'wing'. Each pairing of Artesano type with shoe style is meticulously considered. The resulting aesthetic
complements the design's form while delivering a look that is iconic to Magnanni and never replicated.
The art form highlights another collaboration between brothers, Luis and Miguel Blanco. This is our DNA.
Types of Artesano
Marea Baja
The Marea Baja Artesano has a symmetrical, fairing curve that rises into the
upper, with the arc approaching forty-five degrees.
The Montaña Artesano sole has a symmetrical stitch design rising into the
upper at a near ninety-degree angle which peaks at the center of the extension.
The Artesano sole has remained an icon of quality, style, and technique for Magnanni.
Formed though our family's study of artisan shoemaking from around the world, our designs have been
photographed on the many streets of fashion weeks, red carpet premieres lined with flashing bulbs,
and included in many memorable moments of countless magical elopements. The Artesano stitch has
remained a distinct look seldom seen in footwear.
