Mary Jane Kids Velvet
The strap makes the Mary Jane, and in its children's edition, it does something more — it keeps little feet secure while introducing the youngest wearers to a silhouette that has charmed generations. The Mary Jane Kids velvet Friulane brings Piedaterre's most endearing design to children, carrying the same Venetian artisanal heritage that has defined the house since 1952 at the Rialto Bridge. A rounded toe, a delicate strap crossing the instep, and a closed heel combine to create handmade children's slippers that are as practical as they are beautiful — a first step into the world of thoughtfully made footwear.
The upper is cut from 100% natural cotton velvet, available in seven colors that range from timeless classics to brighter shades chosen to spark a child's imagination. The velvet's dense pile is resilient enough to withstand the adventures of childhood while retaining its lustrous depth washing after washing. The Mary Jane strap crosses the instep with a gentle firmness adapted for children's comfort and ease — secure enough to stay in place during energetic play, yet simple enough for small hands to manage. Grosgrain ribbon in a toning shade edges the silhouette with refinement borrowed directly from the adult Mary Jane for women. A small Venetian glass pearl, hand-sewn to the outer side, gives each pair a detail that children notice with wonder — a piece of Murano tradition made miniature.
Adapting the strap construction for children's feet requires its own form of artisanal finesse. The connection points must hold firmly enough to support active movement yet remain supple enough never to pinch or restrict — a balance achieved through hand-stitching at carefully calibrated tension. Our artisans craft each pair without any adhesive, the cotton velvet upper attached to the sole through the centuries-old Friulane technique, with no distinction in care between a size 24 and a size 48. Every stage of production remains within Italy, from the spinning of the cotton to the placement of the final pearl.
From nursery mornings to birthday parties, holiday gatherings to family travels, the Mary Jane Kids accompanies every chapter of childhood with quiet grace. Its flexible rubber sole with gentle heel support absorbs the tireless energy of young feet, providing comfort that parents trust and children forget to notice — the best kind. For the strap-free alternative, the Modigliani Kids Velvet offers the classic open neckline. This Mary Jane fits on the spacious side — going down one size from the usual delivers the most secure, comfortable wear.

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.
