Family Workshop
Since 1996
A Father. A Daughter.
One standard.
My dad learned the craft in a small Italian workshop. By the time he was 30, he could cut a hide blindfolded. In 1996, he opened Bellatorri—a promise to make boots the way the old masters did.
I grew up playing with leather scraps on the workshop floor. Now I work beside him every day. He still cuts every piece of leather himself. I handle the stitching. Nothing leaves until we're both satisfied.

Why We're
In United States.
This photo hangs in our workshop. Tuscany, 1998—two years after my parents opened the shop. Dad at the bench. Mum keeping the books. And me, not even two, playing with leather scraps on the floor.
Mum was american. She always dreamed of bringing the workshop to her homeland. When she passed in 2015, dad and I made that dream real. She had one rule before anything left the shop:
"Would you be proud to give this to someone you love?" — Mum
I still ask myself that question before every bag ships.
How Your Boots Are Made
Every pair passes through 47 steps. Here are the four that matter most.
Select
We reject 70% of hides. Only full-grain Tuscan leather makes it to our workshop.
Cut
Each piece cut by hand. Dad's cuts are within 0.5mm—every single time.
Stitch
Double-needle saddle stitch. 8 per centimeter. The way it's been done for 500 years.
Inspect
Checked twice. By me, then by dad. He's rejected my work more times than I'd like to admit.

Most comfortable boots I've ever owned
Took a chance on these because the price seemed too good. Glad I did. The leather is thick and has this nice rich smell to it. Wore them all day at work and my feet didn't hurt at all. The sole has great cushioning. They're already breaking in beautifully. Will definitely order another pair.

Bought 2 more pairs for Christmas gifts
Got one pair for myself first to test. Wore them every day for 3 weeks and they still look brand new. Actually they look better now, the leather is getting this nice worn-in patina. Just ordered 2 more pairs for my mum and sister for Christmas. They're going to love the quality. Delivery was fast too.

Finally boots that don't fall apart
I'm so tired of buying boots that look good for 6 months then the stitching comes undone or the soles wear through. These are built different. You can tell just by holding them. The zipper alone feels expensive. I'm on my feet all day for work and these handle it no problem. Best purchase I've made in a while.
Size: 9 | Color: Dark BrownOur Lifetime Promise
We build these boots to last a lifetime. If anything ever goes wrong—a broken zipper, a loose stitch, a worn sole—send them back. We'll fix or replace them. No receipt needed. No time limit. That's the Bellatorri promise.
