The Desert Shore Mule

Exclusive to Alighieri.co.uk

As Dante travels through the underworld, his footsteps are unprecedented, and his travels through the scraggy landscape are fraught with challenges. When he steps foot on Mount Purgatory, on the "desert shore", he sees light for the first time.

The Desert Shore Mule is designed to travel with you on you summer adventures.

It is handmade in Milan, with 100% black calf suede. The heel measures 7cm.

At Alighieri, we believe in creating forever heirlooms. These shoes are made by hand in Milan, Italy by our small, family-run manufacturer. The gold elements are carved by hand, then cast in bronze and plated in gold a stone's throw from our studio in Hatton Garden. The bronze used in this manufacturing process is fully recycled, with all excess metal going back into the cycle of creating tomorrow's forever piece. Each one is then hand-finished with care and love. Our similarly small and family-run caster has been our partner since the very inception of the brand - every step of our process is driven by human beings and their stories, from Dante to Rosh to our A-team... to you.
