Every Irene Costa shoe is born in the heart of the Porto Sant’Elpidio footwear district, where we carry out a strictly 100% Made in Italy production process. At every stage, from the initial creative sketch to the final packaging, our mission is to guarantee inimitable quality standards and the prestige of true handmade craftsmanship.
Our research begins with the raw material: we select only premium leathers, including fine calfskin, soft nappa, brilliant patent leather, and velvety suede, pairing them with water-repellent technical fabrics to ensure durability and comfort.
The heart of our production is manual cutting. After the design is developed with expert pattern makers, the cutter’s eye analyzes every millimeter of the leather, positioning the cardboard templates to achieve absolute perfection. The process continues with skilled closers who stitch the upper and lining before the shoe is lasted for the final assembly of the sole and heel.
Before leaving our workshop, every single pair undergoes rigorous quality control. Thanks to our artisanal structure, we guarantee maximum flexibility and rapid delivery for both Irene Costa branded collections and private label projects customized to our clients’ needs.
