The Susassi brand is unique due to a wide range of experiences and influences within the company. Started in the eighties by the father of the current head designer, the company’s early days consisted of importing luxury leather goods, sourced in Southern Italy, to the UK. The company has been re-vamped by young London designers, using the latest technological advances whilst simultaneously honouring the company’s traditional Italian heritage.

The basis of the company and its inspiration stemmed from natural fabrics and bespoke craftsmanship. The Susassi brand has worked extensively with first grade Italian leathers and exotics. Following the philosophy that fashion is more of a craft than an art, the company has readily embraced the challenge to create aesthetically striking products that have a firm basis in practicality. Footwear best represents this area of the industry. With skills developed through the footwear capital of the UK, Northampton, and working with renowned British heritage companies such as Church’s, Dr Martens and Joseph Cheaney & Sons, The Susassi brand created its first range of men’s footwear. Meanwhile, for its ladies range, the company returned back to its roots in Southern Italy.

The designs are inspired by the decadence and opulence of the Roman Empire. The ancient ruins of Pompeii and Herculaneum that have proven inspirational to poets and painters as well as a destination for the rich and famous provide a backdrop for the collection. The company sources only the finest first grade leathers from family-run tanneries, high up in the mountains of Southern Italy, in a beautiful place so remote and unknown to many who are not local. The leathers are then hand-painted, printed and embossed. Rich golds, silvers and stone tones compliment the hints of coral famously found at the foot of Mount Vesuvius and a dash of turquoise depicting the clear waters that line the milky coastlines of the Amalfi coast The leathers and colours are interchangeable with the designs and are perfectly married together by spectacular production, romantic textures and a modern, fresh London feel and design aspect. The name “Susassi” stamped in to gold letters inside the shoes is the final seal of a family run brand.
