THE STORY OF ATELIER CONTENT
“The satnav doesn’t work there”, experienced shoemakers told her. “And you don’t speak Italian.” Nele Content set off anyway. Today, so many years later, she’s still collaborating with the family workshops in Italy that she found at that time. And she still doesn’t speak Italian.
Being free to do her own thing. That’s what drives Nele Content. And she wants the same freedom for anyone who wears her shoes. It’s less a clothing style or lifestyle that connects them, more a craving for freedom. Nele designs shoes that fit with life. Shoes to walk in, to stride in, to discover and to dance in. Shoes that always look elegant, and that stand out due to their modest strength.
ITALIAN CRAFTSMANSHIP
Our shoes are handmade in small family workshops in Italy’s Marche region. There’s a huge amount of work involved, because dozens of painstaking, expert steps go into creating the perfect shoe. All that stitching, polishing and nailing is done with great care, passion and know-how, by craftspeople who have been handing down the craft to one another for generations. What’s more, our shoes are only made with locally tanned leather of the highest quality. And you feel that. Day after day, year after year.
