Vince Camuto Shoes, Handbags, Apparel & More

From the beginning of his career in the 1950s, our founder Vince Camuto was passionate about the art of shoemaking and leather craft.


He found inspiration in the streets and cobbler shops of Milan and Florence. Today, European workmanship is fused into every aspect of Vince Camuto shoemaking, from design to leather sourcing to careful manufacture.

Meticulous Detail


The son of Italian artisans, Vince had a discerning eye for fine detail in art, architecture, apparel, handbags, and footwear.
His exacting standards are reflected in the artisanal leather craft, complex weaving, hand-applied studs and grommets, and strong, sculpted hardware that hallmark our shoes and handbags.
