Mariano Shoes opened its doors to welcome Presley Oldham, a young designer from New York, recognized by American Vogue as an "emerging talent."

APICCAPS – Portuguese Footwear, Components, and Leather Goods Manufacturers’ Association – is a nationwide organization that represents, among others, the footwear industry. It saw an opportunity to draw attention to the Portuguese footwear industry and encourage brands to look to southwestern Europe.

Mariano Shoes was the perfect partner for this collaboration, as craftsmanship was Presley Oldham's top priority. Mariano Shoes, as we know, combines traditional handcrafting with innovation, much like this partnership.

"That is something that I value in my day-to-day work, particularly with the show I’m producing. It’s using a lot of handcraft that’s a little bit lost in time and showing it in new ways," he says.
