Brand history

The homeland of Amedeo Testoni is considered the beautiful Italian city of Bologna (Bologna), since it was here in 1929 that the hereditary shoe maker Amadeo Testoni decided to open his first shoe store.

Shoes and handmade shoes of the master stood out clearly from the rest:

  2. Secondly, even in the first models A. Testoni already began to trace the spirit of innovation and that unique charismatic style for which the brand was subsequently loved by all Italian dandies.

From the beginning of the 30s of the last century until the start of World War II, the brand experienced a certain upsurge: new methods of craft processing of shoes were used, unique designs of soles and pads were invented, and the client base was expanded. But then the country began a protracted period of crisis, stagnation, which forced Testoni to curtail the mass production of men's shoes, starting to fulfill only rare individual orders.

All of the above difficulties did not prevent the master from inventing that legendary Derby shoe model, which literally turned the whole world of the fashion industry.

The real heyday of the company came in the 50-80s. At this time, Amadeo Testoni begins to actively experiment with the models he produces: styles change, a wide variety of textures and materials are used, the first women's shoe line in the history of A. Testoni is released. Also, during this period, mass production of shoes and shoes was established, new company stores were opened throughout Italy, brand factories began their work. A. Testoni enters the global market.

Currently, the brand concept has two key areas:

  1. Black Label is considered more restrained and conservative. It is intended for business people who want to demonstrate their unique style, their confidence.
  2. White Label, on the contrary, is everyday, but at the same time sophisticated, ideal for residents of noisy cities.
