Modigliani Cashmere
Cashmere begins its journey high in the mountains of Central Asia, combed by hand from the underbelly of goats that endure some of the harshest winters on earth. By the time that fiber reaches the workshop at Piedaterre Venice, it has already survived extremes that most textiles never encounter and it carries that resilience in every thread. The Modigliani Cashmere Friulane channels this extraordinary raw material into the silhouette that founded the collection at the Rialto Bridge in 1952, producing pure cashmere slippers of a softness and warmth that cotton and velvet, however fine, cannot rival.
The upper is cut from pure cashmere, a fiber prized across centuries for its feather-light weight, its natural temperature regulation, and a hand-feel so soft it has become the universal standard for luxury textiles. Cashmere insulates against cold yet releases warmth when it is not needed a quality that makes these slippers as suited to a brisk October morning as to the depths of February. Beneath the cashmere, a cotton lining adds structure and breathability. The Modigliani's signature rounded neckline and closed heel frame the foot with understated composure, while coordinating grosgrain trim borders each seam with tailored precision. A Venetian glass pearl, hand-stitched to the outer side, carries the Murano heritage that appears in every Piedàterre pair. The palette three carefully chosen tones favors depth and versatility over volume.
The path from raw cashmere fiber to finished slipper is longer than most customers will ever see, and Piedaterre treats every stage of that journey with the same attentiveness. The fiber is sourced, processed, and woven within Italy before arriving at the workshop, where artisans shape it into uppers that are joined to the sole by hand alone no adhesive, no shortcuts. This sourcing discipline extends through a fully Italian production chain, ensuring traceability from fleece to finished pair. It is a slower, costlier approach than industrial alternatives, but it is the only one that preserves the integrity of cashmere's singular qualities. The Modigliani Quilted Cashmere applies diamond quilting to the same fiber for added loft, while the Modigliani Velvet offers the founding silhouette in its original cotton velvet.
Wear the Modigliani Cashmere as the ultimate expression of quiet luxury with wide-leg trousers and a knit for an unhurried Sunday, or with a blazer and tailored denim when the afternoon calls you into the city. These cashmere venetian slippers move between settings with the ease of a wardrobe staple that never announces itself but is always noticed. A flexible rubber sole with dedicated heel cushioning ensures all-day comfort on any surface, from parquet floors to evening cobblestones. This model is shaped snugly through the midfoot; stepping up one size delivers the most comfortable wear. For half sizes, round up to the next whole number.

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.
