Modigliani Velvet Leopard

Sale price¥36,900
Color: Nero
Size: 35

A classic Piedàterre reinterpreted with character. The Modigliani Velluto Leopard model is crafted from soft 100% cotton velvet, featuring a refined tone-on-tone animalier pattern that adds depth and personality without compromising on elegance.

Its essential, timeless silhouette, light and comfortable, makes it perfect to wear every day, at home or outside, naturally complementing both casual and more sophisticated looks.

The Modigliani design stands out for its rounded toe and soft-cut vamp, which covers one third of the upper part of the foot, gracefully embracing it without constriction. The upper in natural 100% cotton velvet offers an enveloping softness to the touch, while the tone-on-tone grosgrain trims define the contours with discreet sartorial refinement. A small Venetian glass bead is delicately sewn onto the side, a distinctive and charming detail that makes Piedàterre friulane instantly recognisable, paying tribute to the rich local artisan tradition. The closed heel ensures stability and fit in every situation.

Each pair is made entirely in Italy, from the selection of the velvet to the final stitch. The craftsmanship is completely manual, without the use of glues or industrial processes: a method handed down from the Friulian tradition, which our artisans, trained directly by the brand, preserve with dedication. The supply chain is 100% Italian, from the fabric to the technical sole with heel cushioning, ensuring authentic comfort and a quality that can be felt with every step.

The Modigliani in velvet move naturally from the simplicity of daytime to the refinement of evening, perfect for a stroll through the calli, an aperitif at sunset, or dinner in the city. The technical sole makes them suitable both for indoor spaces and cobbled streets, accompanying you lightly for over ten thousand steps a day. Wearing them means carrying a piece of Venice with you, wherever the day may lead.

Available in 2 colours and sizes from 35 to 42S.

Discover also the Modigliani Canvas, the Modigliani Tuxedo Velluto, and the Dandy Velluto.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do all Piedàterre Friulane fit the same way?

No, the fit of Piedàterre Friulane varies by model. The Dandy, Mary Jane (adult version), and Brodsky models have a smaller fit: we recommend choosing
one size up from your usual size.

The Modigliani and Wilde models, on the other hand, tend to have a more regular fit.


For any questions, you can check the size guide or contact our customer service at info@piedaterrevenezia.com.

How do you clean and maintain velvet Friulane?

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.

Could the color of the Friulane appear different from what is shown on the website?

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.

If you would like color confirmation before purchasing, please do not hesitate to contact us or visit our shops in Venice, where you can see and touch the materials in person.

Can I exchange the size of my Friulane if it's not the right one?

Yes, Piedàterre offers the possibility of size exchange for both online and in-store purchases.

To request a size exchange, contact our customer service with your order number and desired new size.
