Sandali Tipici

For more than forty years Sandali Tipici has kept the local tradition of handmade sandals alive in Maiori, on the Amalfi Coast. Alfonso Dattilo, now working with his son Gerardo, belongs to the independent makers who still build a sandal the old way: two layers of leather sewn together with waxed thread, a leather-covered heel, and the upper fixed with brass tacks instead of glue.
