Who Has largest Selection of Sutor Mantellasi Shoes in USA

[Stedye]

To all those in the Know on Sutor Mantellasi...


Which store in the U.S. has the largest selection of Sutor Mantellasi shoes? Do they do made to measure here in the States ? Are there Trunk shows anywhere ? Has anyone visited the stores in either Milan, Florence, or, England? What were your thoughts on the selection abroad?

I love the style but cannot find any here in Atlanta. They are no longer at Nieman-Marcus in Atl.


Thanks in advance for the feedback and info.

ShopTheFinest (an affiliate of this forum, the link is on top) has a selection. That is where I got mine from.

Right now the off-price market will have the selection....SM went out of business.

A few years ago they got into trouble.....were bought, along with Banfi, by the Lario Group, who then went under. All the brands were bought by a large Korean retail group recently. I assume the label will be around again, but the factory itself is shuttered, last I heard. Check out the Scarpe di Bianco line......he was connected to SM and looks like he took the opportunity to do his own line. Have heard good things about the shoes.

Rider - what's the story with Santoni - why did they pull out of NY?

That is a sad situation for them!! The shoes look fantastic. Which other manufacturer makes shoes with the style and panache of Sutor Mantellasi? I believe someone on the forum stated that the items from Bontoni where of a similar level of Craftsmanship.
