Mary Jane Two-Tone Canvas
Canvas has its own eloquence — lighter than velvet, cooler against the skin, and imbued with a casual ease that makes it the natural choice when the season turns warm. The Mary Jane Two-Tone Canvas Friulane brings together two shades of cotton canvas within the most charming silhouette in the Piedaterre collection, creating summer slippers that feel at once spirited and refined. Since 1952 at the Rialto Bridge, Piedaterre has been adapting the Friulane tradition to the rhythms of Italian life, and this Mary Jane in canvas is a love letter to the warmer months — when footwear should feel as light as the afternoon breeze off the Adriatic.
The upper combines two tones of 100% cotton canvas, a composition that captures the playfulness of summer dressing without sacrificing the Mary Jane's graceful proportions. The rounded toe anchors the silhouette in softness, while the instep strap — the defining gesture of every Mary Jane — provides a secure, accommodating fit that stays with you from terrace to piazza. Canvas breathes more openly than velvet, making it an ideal textile for days when warmth demands more ventilation. Grosgrain trim in a coordinating hue runs along each edge with characteristic precision, and the Venetian glass pearl — set by hand on the outer side — adds its quiet Murano shimmer to the relaxed canvas surface. A cotton lining inside ensures softness throughout the day, while the closed heel cradles the foot with gentle assurance.
Adapting canvas to the Mary Jane silhouette reveals the versatility of a fabric too often dismissed as casual. Cotton canvas holds its shape more crisply than velvet, responding to the artisan's needle with a structured resilience that produces defined lines and sharp seams. Our craftspeople stitch each pair by hand, entirely without adhesive, joining the two-tone canvas upper to the sole through the traditional Friulane technique — a process that yields a shoe as flexible and responsive as the fabric itself. Every material and every stage of construction takes place in Italy, from the weaving of the cotton canvas to the final hand-finishing. For the velvet counterpart, see the Mary Jane Two-Tone Velvet.
The Mary Jane Two-Tone Canvas moves with equal ease through garden parties, gallery openings, seaside lunches, and sunset passeggiata — those golden hours when Italian life is at its most beautiful. Its performance rubber sole with cushioned heel zone supports genuine all-day wear, providing the kind of sustained comfort that lets you focus on the moment rather than your feet. For a different summer silhouette in canvas, explore the Modigliani Two-Tone Canvas. The Mary Jane fits snugly through the midfoot — stepping up one size gives the most natural, relaxed feel. Between sizes, round up.

Piedàterre velvet Friulane require simple maintenance to preserve their beauty over time:
Daily cleaning: gently brush with a velvet brush following the grain in circular motions.
Light stains: dab with a damp cloth without rubbing. Allow to air dry, away from direct heat sources.
Storage: store the Friulane in a dry place. Avoid compressing the velvet to prevent crushing the fibers.
Being entirely handmade artisan footwear, careful maintenance ensures long-lasting wear.
For other fabrics such as silk or wool, we recommend contacting our customer service.
Yes, slight differences in shade between the color displayed on screen and the actual product color are possible. This depends on several factors: monitor calibration, the lighting conditions in which the photo was taken and viewed, and the artisanal nature of the velvet dyeing process, which can produce minor variations between batches.
Some colors, such as Azure, are particularly sensitive to these perception differences. We constantly strive to make our photographs as accurate as possible.
