LORENZO BANFI
Italian style at its best
HISTORY. |
Lorenzo Banfi was established in the 1970s in one of the districts historically renowned for quality and tradition
in the footwear sector. The manufacturing factories, both ultra modern and functional, are located in Parabiago.
The choice of Parabiago has proved to be a winner on two sides, not only for being a crucial area of footwear
traditions, but also for its proximity to Milan, which has enabled the experiencing and participation in the
birth and success of the Made in Italy production.

CRAFTSMANSHIP
Nowadays everything has to be manufactured incredibly faster and with less human involvement. We consider
important to know, however, that there are people who take all the time needed for "a well done job".
Cutting and colouring, stitching, finishing and assemblying soles are only some of the most important operations
still carried out by hand-making.
Our materials, rare and precious such as the Ascot Grained Leather*, are always and exclusively top quality.
All accessories are designed and produced with a sense of exclusivity and excellence.
* Ascot Grained Leather is the special name of the leather imported from England, hand treated by Lorenzo Banfi craftsmen with particular
substances and prolonged procedures similar to the polishing of fine wood.
WORKING
Ascot Grained Leather: HAND-POLISHING Only top quality rawhides are dyed in natural pigments.
The hand performed buffing produces transparencies, shades and depths of colour that would otherwise be unobtainable.
CUTTING
Following the seasoning phase, to ensure the considerable shades of the hides and skins, and to deliver a pair of shoes
aesthetically homogeneous, all that is needed is the long experience and craftsmanship of the cutter.
ASSEMBLY AND STITCHING
Delicate and laborious operations bring perfect aesthetics and product reliability and this is only possible through manual performance.
ARCHING AND PRESSING
A long and meticulous work enables the pigmented substances to attach permanently to the skin.
BRUSHING
Each shoe is delicately brushed with various types of natural polishing waxes
