This Just In: Officine Creative
We highlight Officine Creative, an artisanal Italian brand hand-crafting premium materials into stylish, highly functional leather shoes.
Founded in Italy in 1998, Officine Creative’s philosophy revolves around creating shoes that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional and comfortable. Their unique approach combines innovation with a deep respect for traditional Italian craftsmanship, resulting in high-quality footwear with a distinctive character. It’s this approach that has earned the brand a loyal following worldwide.
Our Team’s Take
Officine Creative serves as a bridge in a man’s wardrobe, filling the gap between formal dress shoes typically worn for work and sleek sneakers. According to Adam Mena-Silvert, our expert Footwear Buyer, the brand’s chunky silhouettes, thicker soles, and distressed leathers play a crucial role in our fall collection. He highlights that as men are gradually shifting their focus from sneakers, this alternative dress shoe option is turning a lot of heads.
How to Wear It
According to Fashion Direction Manager Andy Chitty, the brand appeals to individuals who prioritize style but seek a subtly refined look that remains timeless decade after decade. "This brand pairs well with classic pieces and silhouettes like jeans, basic T-shirts, understated knitwear, and even relaxed tailoring," he explains.
