Paolo Shoes is a company that manufactures high-end Italian handmade shoes, bags and accessories. Founded by Paolo Iantorno, the noted fashion designer whose work has been recognized in publications like The New York Times, The New Yorker, and Footwear News, the company is dedicated to true Italian craftsmanship. At his leadership PAOLO uses a proprietary dip dye process employed by only three factories worldwide due to its expense and laborious technique. PAOLO remains the only brand that carries an entire collection whereby the coveted process is used.
