Collection: Women's Handcrafted Sneakers Made in Italy

A tale of style and craftsmanship: explore the entire Acanto collection and find the sneaker that speaks to you.

One catalog, six ways to be Acanto

Here you will find the brand's entire catalog. The Iconic line is the widest, featuring everyday essential styles, including the summer families Summer Net, Summer Trama, and Summer Drill in cotton and canvas. Court reinterprets 1970s running in suede, with a flat and tapered shape. Basket brings a street vibe with bold proportions, while Boldelevates the sole to give the figure a boost. Sneaker-ina combines a ballet flat and sneaker in a lightweight fit. Limited editions can be found in the Specialcollection, where refined materials and unique craftsmanship make each model a rare piece.

Handmade with solar energy

Each pair is made in Salento by artisans trained at the shoe factory's internal academy, using electricity generated by the company's photovoltaic system. We work with nappa leather, suede, leather, cotton, and canvas using water-based adhesives and certified tanned leathers from a certified supply chain, on flexible rubber soles. The boxes are made of recycled cardboard, and the travel bag is made from BCI certified cotton according to GOTS principles. Current prices range from 229 to 269 euros depending on the model and materials.

How do I choose the right collection for me?


Start from how you live your day-to-day life. For an essential model to wear every day, choose Iconic; for a lightweight retro running vibe, there's Court; for a bolder street style, Basket. If you love a high sole that lengthens the figure, check out Bold; if you're looking for a slim fit between a ballet flat and a sneaker, try Sneaker-ina. The Specials are limited editions for those who want a unique piece that not everyone has.

How much do the Acanto sneakers cost?

The price list ranges from 229 to 269 euros. The price changes with the materials and the complexity of the workmanship, which remains manual across all production.
