CB Made in Italy

Milanese designer Cecilia Bringheli launched this bespoke shoe company in 2010 after studying fashion trends as a PR consultant. She and her brother, Lorenzo, decided to create custom classic loafers. In their charming showroom, with exposed brick walls and club chairs, patrons can pick from flat loafers and slides (all named after Italian resort towns like Ravello and Positano) and choose their own fabrics and embellishments. Italian craftsmen customize each pair, cutting the leather soles and stitching on tassels, to create pieces that will stand the test of time. While most shoes are custom made, some models have become so popular that you can buy them in the shop.
