Friulane Mary Jane

Our Friulane Mary Jane shoes are a graceful evolution of the timeless Friulane slipper. At Heart to Heart in Florence, we’ve reimagined the classic silhouette with an added touch of femininity and playfulness, while preserving the values that define our brand: craftsmanship, quality, and quiet beauty.

Made entirely by hand in Florence, Italy, our Friulane Mary Jane shoes are the perfect blend of tradition and contemporary design. They tell a story of heritage and style—of antique textiles reborn, and of fashion that feels personal, poetic, and made with care.

A Classic with a Twist

Inspired by the traditional Venetian Friulane, the Mary Jane version adds a delicate strap across the instep, making the shoe even more charming and secure. The result is a versatile piece you can wear from morning to evening, with everything from linen dresses to tailored trousers. Whether you’re walking through cobbled streets or attending an elegant gathering, these shoes are designed to carry you with grace.

Each pair of our Friulane Mary Jane Italy collection is crafted from precious fabrics: soft silk velvets, luminous silk blends, breathable cotton, and elegant linen. We often use reclaimed materials from our family’s historic fabric archive—textiles that once lived as upholstery or drapery and are now given a second life on your feet.

Handmade in Florence, Italy

We don’t just design in Italy—we make everything here. Our handmade Friulane shoes are sewn one by one in our quiet atelier in Florence. The process is slow and intentional. There is no rush, only rhythm: the rhythm of hands that know their craft, of fabric being shaped into something lasting, and of an idea becoming form.

Every stitch is a small act of care, and every detail—from the soft soles to the curved strap—is refined for beauty and comfort. The result? A shoe that feels as good as it looks.

Ethics and Aesthetics in Harmony

At Heart to Heart, we believe that true beauty respects both the planet and the people who bring it to life. That’s why our Friulane Mary Jane Italy collection is made in limited quantities, with attention to every phase—from sourcing to finishing. We produce less, but better.

We price our shoes fairly, based on a balance between material cost, craftsmanship, and sustainability. We don’t chase trends. Instead, we create pieces that are timeless and seasonless—designed to be loved for years, not just a season.

A Shoe That Tells a Story

Our Friulane Mary Jane is more than a shoe. It’s a small gesture of self-love, a way to feel elegant without effort, and a symbol of thoughtful living. It connects you to a slower rhythm, to the beauty of handmade work, and to a Florence that still creates with soul.

Choose the Friulane Mary Jane that speaks to you—whether in rich velvet, crisp linen, or soft cotton. Let it become part of your everyday rituals, your quiet moments, your celebrations. Because beauty, when made with heart, becomes a way of living.
