Craftsmanship

Enduring style does not chase trends, and neither do you. The classic, iconic styling of a Zelli shoe is both timeless and contemporary. Fine luxury shoes and accessories are defined by details. Zelli exemplifies this ideology through thoughtful dedication to excellence in each of these areas: material, style, construction and artistry. There is a reason that the most exquisite shoes made are crafted in Italy. It is for this same reason that each Zelli shoe is cut and sewn by the hands of highly-experienced Italian artisans, ensuring your best fit. Purity and perfection of details take discipline and focus. You apply these tenets to your own life, and so should the shoes that carry you through it.

Our Story

With these guiding standards, the Zelli brand was formed in the mid-1990s. We started with a small collection of footwear, belts and wallets in premium calfskin and fine exotic leathers. Zelli quickly became known for its luxury Caiman crocodile, Teju lizard, and ostrich products all expertly crafted in the Tuscany region of Italy and sold in the best men’s specialty stores in the US. The Zelli standards continue today along with a passion for providing incomparable customer service.
