Sustainable Traditions. Luxury Within Reach.

“I remembered her once saying that life was like your shoes.

You couldn't simply expect or imagine that your shoes would fit perfectly.

Shoes that pinched your feet were a fact of life.” 

― Henning mankeli, Italian Shoes


The Inspiration for Sotto il Sole

The original leather Capri sandal was made by hand for the people that roamed the island’s cobbled passages and paths. Sotto il Sole has a vision of delivering the quality of this Italian technique to new streets for a new generation.



Authentic Production, Authentic Prices

We design each of our sandals from our studio in New York and work exclusively with a small, family-run leather tannery in Italy to produce something that is both beautiful and affordable.  


Sustainable Shoes for a Lifetime of Inspiration

At Sotto il Sole, we believe that mass-produced footwear is unsustainable, uninspiring, and unable to withstand long days of walking and long nights of dancing. That’s why we create every pair of our leather sandals to order, custom-made and crafted especially for your feet.


Your style is singular – an expression of your personality.

A wide variety of designs and colors means you’ll never have to compromise style for comfort. And because shoe love is true love, we know you’ll want to keep your pair forever. That’s why we’ll always maintain and repair your Sotto il Sole sandals for a small fee.
