The philosophy behind A Testoni is simple. A combination of old methodologies mixed with unique luxury and rigorous selections of materials without compromise. The brand name has continually looked towards the future and welcomed innovations to enhance their products and ensure they are suitable for a lifestyle of luxury.

A Testoni dates back to 1260, a time when Bolognese craftsman has settled all over Europe. The first workshop from the brand name was opened in 1929 and Amedeo Testoni began to improve upon production and fulfilled his vision of designing and creating some of the very best leather shoes around the globe. It wasn’t long before he had taken Italian artisanship around the world and established a name for himself.

The 1950's were the dolce vita time and during this period the designer began incorporating exotic luxury leathers into his designs such as crocodile skin. When the 60s and swing came around Testoni was designing leather boots, one of the more famous of designs was for the actress Sophia Loren. By the 70s the fashion world had turned to favor quality designs and so did Testoni when he designed a pair of dark brown crocodile skin boots for an Empress. Slip on shoes became on the fashion during the 80s and again Testoni moved with the ties and experimented with style and quality when he designed a pair of slip on shoes for the designer Gianni Versace. A Testoni moved away from mass
