Craftmanship

Essentially produced in Italy, Apologie shoes are of known quality and pass through the hands of reputable shoe- makers. In harmony with ancestral standards of creation, craftsmanship and humanism, it can be interpreted as a sane response to the modern standardization and overall prevailing frenzy.

Mood

Anything is possible when joyous and unadulterated inspiration is allowed to run free. In sum, its esthetic is Parisian, contemporary and is translated into further accessories collections. Its graphic identity leaves an impression of reassuring familiarity evocative of a brand that has made its memorable mark but that never stops reinventing itself and determining its own trends.

Inspired as much by the Renaissance cabinets of curiosities as it is delicious patisseries, this new Apologie collection strives to be unique in its elegance and inquisitiveness, colorful yet pure. The Apologie collection is an unexpected yet pleasant breath of fresh air.
