Paris-based footwear brand Aperlaï integrates graphic lines, contrast, asymmetry, and sophistication in their vintage-inspired collections, each crafted in Italy from fine quality materials such as exotic skins, python, and stingray.

Brand founder, Alessandra Lanvin took the name of her label from an ancient Lycian city, a 20 minutes boat ride from her family home – a place she associates with warm family memories. Before launching her company, Lanvin, who has a degree in Political Science and Art History, worked as headhunter in Paris for the luxury goods industry.
