A GLIMPSE IN THE PAST

Although the first written documents date backto the 1800s, these charateristic footwear, called Friuliane or scarpets, finds its origins further back in time. Traditional Friuliane shoes, made sice its origins with a sense of ecology.  They were once made by useing recycled and reused materials (cutouts or leftovers of cloth, the so-called blecs), sewn by the skillful hands of Friulan women, who made these Friulane slippers at home and for the whole household. 

The styles used to make these charateristic shoe follow a design that has remained unchanged over the years and nevertheless contemporary. Originally these shoes were used as footwear of the festiv days by the people of Friuli Venezia Giulia then adopted also, in the eighteenth century, in Venice by the gondoliers.

The CenCeTak project (in Italian: "without heels") re-proposes this product, recovering the original idea of reuse and recycling by limiting waste and contributing to the protection of the environment.
