halmanera

The story of Halmanera begins in 1979 in the heart of the Marche region, driven by the energy of Giuseppe Petrelli and his strong passion for women's footwear. In a historical period like that of the mythical 1980s, Halmanera lays its stylistic foundations to meet a new need: dressing the feet of all those women who decide to break free from classic stereotypes once and for all. It is precisely based on this new scenario that Halmanera chooses to create shoes capable of accompanying women in this new everyday role. From here on, nothing is left to chance, starting from the choice of materials. The luxurious leathers that cover the uppers of the shoes impart a strong character, while the wide heel provides strength and stability. The result is bold footwear characterized by a strong personality encapsulated in a completely Made in Italy craftsmanship. During its 40 years of activity, Halmanera has never forgotten its origins or its values, which are now stronger than ever under the guidance of Luca and Sauro Petrelli, the founder's sons. The Halmanera brand emphasizes a counter-trend aesthetic and breaks down the barriers of femininity made up of towering stiletto heels and suffering. The footwear offered envies the comfort of men's shoe racks and makes it its own without ever neglecting the art of refinement. For Halmanera, the femininity of a shoe is not determined by the classic concept of aesthetics, but by character. Halmanera collections aim to give voice to the practical needs of those women who have something to say, as well as a thousand things to do. Halmanera's women's shoes are synonymous with genuineness, wrapping the foot in silent elegance while celebrating normality in all its forms.
