Modigliani Kids Pigozzi Velvet
A smaller foot does not deserve smaller craft. The Modigliani Kids Pigozzi Velvet Friulane is built on exactly that principle — the same artisans, the same materials, the same adhesive-free construction that defines the adult Modigliani Pigozzi Velvet, scaled thoughtfully for children without a single shortcut. Since 1952, Piedaterre has believed that the discipline of the Rialto Bridge workshop applies equally whether the shoe is a size 48 or a size 24. The Pigozzi decorative band brings its graphic energy to a Modigliani silhouette — rounded toe, softly curved neckline, closed heel — reimagined in proportions that fit young feet with the same grace the original lends to adults.
The upper is crafted in 100% cotton velvet, its soft, plush pile providing the warmth and tactile comfort that children respond to instinctively. Across the instep, the Pigozzi band introduces a vivid graphic accent that sets these kids' Friulane slippers apart — a detail that sparks personality without overwhelming the shoe's clean lines. The interior is lined in cotton for all-day breathability, a consideration that matters doubly for feet that never stop moving. Grosgrain trim in a coordinating shade finishes the edges with care identical to every adult model in the collection. On the outer side, a small Venetian glass pearl is hand-sewn into place, connecting even the youngest Piedaterre wearer to the Murano glassmaking heritage that has defined the brand from its first pair.
Craftsmanship without compromise is not a marketing phrase at Piedaterre — it is a production decision made fresh each morning when the children's sizes reach the workbench. The artisans stitch each kids' pair with the same needle, the same thread weight, and the same adhesive-free Friulane technique used across the adult collection. The velvet upper and Pigozzi band are joined to the sole by hand on Italian soil, with no concession made for the shoe's smaller scale. If anything, the reduced proportions demand greater dexterity — the rounded toe is tighter, the neckline shorter, and every stitch falls within a narrower margin. The full production takes place within Italy, from the cotton velvet mill to the workshop where the last glass pearl is set.
For children with an emerging sense of style — or for parents who refuse to accept that quality belongs only to grown-up wardrobes — the Modigliani Kids Pigozzi is a meaningful introduction to handmade footwear. The Pigozzi band adds the kind of character that children love and adults admire, while a flexible sole with cushioning designed for active feet keeps pace with the boundless energy of young wearers, from playground adventures to family celebrations to everything in between. Explore the classic Modigliani Kids Velvet for the everyday counterpart. This model runs roomy through the toe; choosing one size below the child's usual ensures the most secure fit. When in doubt, size down.

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.
