The Spelta Milano brand came to life in Milan in 1967, but the craftsmanship tradition from the family started well before the birth of the brand. Ten years prior, in 1957 in Parabiago, a suburb of Milan the company already had a long tradition in footwear craftsmanship. This is where the iconic "Speltina" was given light, produced with the traditional “sewing and turning” technique, a variation of the Goodyear stitching method where the upper is stitched to the sole in reverse and then turned up by hand. This guarantees the shoes fit like a glove, offering comfort, softness and flexibility.
In the early 80s the Spelta hand stitched "ballerina" (ballet flats) shoes became a real cult phenomenon in Milan, thanks to the master mix of attention to style and craftsmanship, and the constant and direct relationship the family kept with the fashion world.
Spelta Milano had great business growth in the 80s and 90s so they decided to diversify their production and introduced additional models of women's footwear. The brand has been able to maintain its identity focusing on classic but unique designs, paying attention and care to the quality of the materials and finishes of the product, with a medium-low product positioning.
Over the course of time, the Spelta "Ballerina" ballet flats have always been presented as the brand's "testimonial". Today, the Spelta Milano ballet flats are still made the same way as the first street ballet flat they hand stitched.
The choice of shoe designs, the search of the materials and the imagination used in creating superb silhouettes have transformed the traditional Spelta collection while still maintaining the high artisan quality, confirming Spelta Milano as an iconic ballet flat shoe brand capable of pleasing their clients, in all age groups and every generation.
