Velvet Week Begins
Today, 28 November, Velvet Week officially opens.
For one week only, our Gondolina Privé members receive first access to three new creations available in very limited quantities.
Discover the Collection here.
Each model is handmade in Friuli, wrapped in Italian velvet, and designed to capture the quiet elegance of Venice — reimagined for today.
This exclusive collection draws inspiration from one of Venice’s most iconic elements: its water and boats. The three shoes celebrate the Arsenal, where vessels were once crafted, and two traditional lagoon boats the Caorlina and the Mascareta.
Arsenale · Black Velvet & the First Venetian Bow
Our most romantic debut yet: Arsenale, the first Venetian shoe with a velvet bow.
Soft black cotton velvet, lifted insole, and a silhouette that pairs tradition with subtle drama.
The Venice Arsenal is one of the city’s most iconic landmarks, where the power of its past has transformed into a vibrant center for culture and community. Once the largest shipyard in the world, it now hosts major events such as the Venice Biennale. The past and future of Venice are bound together by an inseparable connection embodied in our Arsenale flats.

Caorlina · The First Venetian Sneaker in Brown & Leopard Velvet
A bold new step for Gondolina. Caorlina blends brown velvet with a playful leopard touch, bringing Venetian charm into a modern sneaker shape.
The Caorlina is a vessel of strength, grace, and quiet elegance—qualities mirrored in the shoe that takes its name. This exclusive new design blends the cherished comfort of our most iconic creations with the soul of a handcrafted sneaker, shaped with care by the hands of our artisans.

Mascareta · Pure Black Velvet, Pure Venetian Essenza

Mascareta is our refined black-velvet lace-up — light, soft, and beautifully timeless.
The Mascareta is a Venetian boat, light and swift, celebrated for its grace in women’s regattas. The shoe, inspired by its name, transforms this spirit into a refined design, capturing the elegance and femininity of the Gondolina flats in an exclusive, limited-edition creation.
