Casadei
Casadei is an Italian luxury footwear brand characterized by architectural silhouettes and high-octane glamour. Its aesthetic emphasizes structural innovation, most notably through the signature steel Blade heel. The brand represents a tradition of artisanal craftsmanship combined with a bold, feminine ethos centered on precision engineering.
История
Quinto and Flora Casadei founded the company in 1958 in San Mauro Pascoli, Italy. Initially producing sandals for tourists on the Adriatic Riviera, the brand expanded into international markets during the 1960s. It remains a family-owned enterprise, with Cesare Casadei serving as creative director since 1994. The brand is historically significant for its technical contributions to footwear design, specifically the development of ultra-thin, reinforced steel heels that challenged traditional manufacturing limits.
