Mary Jane Venice Spugna
The Mary Jane Venice Spugna reinterprets the relaxed elegance of the Lagoon through a fresh, essential, and contemporary aesthetic. Inspired by the luminous atmosphere of Venetian summers and the iconic details of gondolas, these Mary Janes combine Piedàterre’s artisanal tradition with an unexpected and sophisticated material: soft, 100% cotton terry towel fabric. This model is designed to gracefully accompany you through the brightest days, along sun-drenched calli, on terraces overlooking the Grand Canal, and on seaside escapes.
The silhouette maintains the feminine, timeless line of the classic Mary Jane, enriched by the double Dolfin symbol embroidered on the toe - a distinctive graphic detail that recalls the ferro di prua (bow iron) of Venetian gondolas, reinterpreting it with a contemporary twist. The contrasting grosgrain trim elegantly defines the shoe’s contours, while the instep strap strikes the perfect balance between comfort and refinement. The soft, textured feel of the cotton terry cloth makes the design instantly recognisable, adding a sense of natural softness to every step. On the side, the iconic Venetian glass bead discreetly signs each pair, paying homage to the local artisanal tradition.
Every pair is handcrafted in Italy, entirely without the use of glue. Each shoe is hand-stitched according to traditional Friulian methods by our artisans, trained directly in the atelier, who dedicate time and expertise to every single stitch. The production chain is 100% Italian: from the natural velvet to the cotton lining, and from the technical, cushioned sole to the final finishes.
Available in blue and white, the Venice Spugna Mary Janes are designed for those seeking a spontaneous yet refined style. Perfect with linen, denim, or minimalist summer silhouettes, they effortlessly accompany an aperitivo on the Lagoon, a weekend at the beach, or an evening stroll through the Venetian calli. A model that tells the story of Venice with contemporary lightness, transforming tradition into a fresh, instantly recognisable statement of style.

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.
