11 years ago, M.Gemi was born from my longtime dream. Growing up in Italy and later working in the footwear industry, I met many incredible artisans who had dedicated their lives to shoemaking. So I built a brand that would celebrate their artistry by working with family-owned workshops to handcraft shoes (and handbags!) in small batches using the finest Italian materials. So much has changed since then, but I’m proud to say that the way we do things has not. We still work with the same artisans we always have, we still source the best Italian materials, and we still refuse to cut corners. I’m filled with gratitude for the artisans bringing our designs to life and for you, the clients who appreciate thoughtfully made, high-quality Italian pieces. We’ve gone beyond building the shoe brand of my dreams; we’ve built a community. And I can’t wait to continue the journey. Our annual birthday sale is our nod to the Italian tradition of treating one’s friends and family to a meal on your birthday. We can’t gather you all together around a table, but we can treat you to 25% off sitewide with code OURTREAT.* I hope you’ll celebrate with us! Con affetto, Maria | | | | |
