HANDCRAFTED CAPRI SANDALS
The Star of Tragara
In the years of Capri's Dolce Vita, when the terraces of Tragara filled with music, light silks and nights that seemed never to end, there were tales of a mysterious woman who appeared only at sunset.
She always arrived alone. She wore white dresses moved by the wind and jewels that reflected the sea like small fragments of light. No one knew her name. Some said she was a foreign actress who had fled the world, others swore she was a fallen noblewoman who had chosen Capri to be reborn, and still others that she was Venus herself.
But there was one detail everyone remembered. On her feet she wore extraordinary sandals, adorned with crystal starfish, red corals and blue stones that seemed to hold the colours of the island. Every time she crossed the Belvedere of Tragara, time slowed down. Conversations broke off, the sea fell silent, and even the wind seemed to follow her.
Then, one summer evening, she vanished. She left nothing of herself behind, except a legend still passed down today among the terraces overlooking the Faraglioni: that of a woman who had turned Capri into a place of rebirth.
The Star of Tragara is born from this story. The red coral recalls the island's blazing sunsets. The crystalline blue holds the colour of the sea on August evenings. The luminous starfish at its centre evokes instead the light that every woman is capable of giving off.
These sandals remind us that the rarest elegance belongs to those who, after crossing the chaos of the world, choose to be reborn, just as the sun is reborn at the dawn of each new day.

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.
