Valentina Rangoni introduces a new way of doing women’s premium shoes. Born in Florence, Valentina and Carolina Rangoni grew up with a passion for footwear passed down through 2 generations. In fact, the Rangoni brand is among the most historic and long-lived artisan shops in Florence, when Grandfather Ugo began producing handcrafted women’s shoes back in 1934. This laid the groundwork for the family legacy, continued by father Niccolò who in turn has been teaching his daughters the tools of the trade. With a deep admiration for everything to do with art, fashion, and craftsmanship, the sisters decided to create their own line in 2015—Valentina Rangoni. The brand, which is designed by Valentina Rangoni herself, has a strong aesthetic but still technical expertise and impeccable fitting. It’s a fresh, young and feminine and makes every woman feeling confident, comfortable and beautiful. Valentina Rangoni is a mission of female and youth emancipation, because only a woman can really put herself “in the shoes” of another woman: therefore, Valentina design women’s shoes that every woman would like to wear first to face life every day, always feeling her best. As young women and entrepreneurs Valentina and Carolina want to fight the stereotypes and the strong male hegemony within the Italian and international footwear industry and give more voice to the women of the sector, to their creativity and their needs while promoting a sustainable and ethical brand.
