Friulane are an iconic Italian shoe, handcrafted since the 19th century in the Friuli region. Lightweight, versatile, and comfortable, they’ve become a symbol of understated elegance.

Yes. GaVi Friulane are entirely hand-stitched, without the use of glues or industrial machinery. Each pair is assembled by artisans, located in Friuli, Italy.

Our shoes are handcrafted in Italy and use European (EU) sizing. You can easily find your equivalent size using the size guide available on each product page. Friulane generally fit true to size; however, if you are between sizes, we recommend sizing up. If you need any assistance choosing the right fit, feel free to contact us at hello@gavifriulane.com.

Yes, GaVi Friulane are designed for life both indoors and out. The non-slip rubber sole makes them perfect for walking on any surface. However, as each pair is crafted in velvet, we recommend avoiding rain. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally.

If the velvet gets dusty or lightly soiled, brush off with a soft brush. For tougher stains, machine wash on a delicate, no-spin cycle in cool water.

If the inner sole becomes soiled, hand wash gently in lukewarm water with a mild detergent and a small scrub brush.

Always air dry away from direct sunlight.

We accept returns within 30 days, provided items are unworn. Visit our Returns & Exchanges page for full details.
