HANDCRAFTED CAPRI SANDALS
The Guardians of the Nymphaeum
Hidden among the cliffs of Capri lies a sanctuary of light. A secret grotto where the sea dresses itself in sapphire, emerald and gold. A place that holds ancient mysteries like a chest.
It is said that, since time long past, in the first hours of the morning, when the Capri sun timidly grazes the mirror of the water, small sea creatures appear in colours so many and so vivid that no description can hold them. The Guardians of the Nymphaeum. Rare and silent presences, born to protect the magic of that realm half-suspended between myth and desire.
It is told that even Tiberius would descend here to escape the weight of the Empire and find again something that power had never truly given him. Immersed in that light that smelled of magic, before the wonder of the sea dancing upon the rock, the Emperor relived for a moment the boy who once walked the shore beside his mother Livia, dreaming of one day conquering the world. And it was there that he understood that no kingdom, however vast, could ever equal the worth of an emotion capable of crossing time.
The Guardians of the Nymphaeum is born from that lost enchantment. From the morning light that caresses Capri like a promise. From those secret places that continue to live in the dreams of those who have crossed them, even once.
The Guardians of the Nymphaeum carries on the foot the small creatures that inhabit the secret grotto: two crystal fish in turquoise, suspended in the moment before they disappear into the current, and hand-painted ceramic nautilus shells resting on the strap as though they had arrived there on their own, with the morning tide. Limited edition, entirely handcrafted in Capri.

Materials
Vegetable-tanned leather from a sustainable Tuscan tannery, steeped for over ten months in chestnut and mimosa tannins, no chrome, no shortcuts. Full-grain lining that softens to the shape of your foot. Insoles sealed with two layers of pure beeswax, naturally antibacterial and breathable. Every jewel is plated in fine gold, nickel-free and hypoallergenic, so only what nature intended ever touches your skin.
Savoir-faire
Every pair is cut, stitched, and finished by hand on the island, by artisans who have learned the craft the way Capri teaches everything: slowly, with patience, with reverence. No two sandals are ever exactly alike, each one carries the subtle, singular variations of the hand that made it, and that is precisely what makes it yours.
Care
Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after use. Vegetable-tanned leather is alive, and it remembers, store your sandals in their cotton dust bag, in a cool, dry place. Cared for this way, your Venere a Capri will age the way the island does: beautifully, very slowly, and entirely on their own terms.
Shipping & Returns
Your sandals travel from Capri to your doorstep in 5–7 working days within the EU, and within 10 working days to the rest of the world.
Should something not feel right once they arrive, you have 30 days to return them: write to us, and our team will guide you through every step with the same care that went into making them.
