Guidi
Guidi is recognised for an uncompromising approach to leather, where artisanal treatment and distinctive construction shape every piece. Its footwear and accessories carry a sculptural, tactile quality, often revealing the character of the material rather than concealing it. For discerning wardrobes, Guidi offers considered forms with an avant-garde edge, designed to develop a singular patina and presence over time.
Guidi is the expression of an exceptional Italian leather tradition, rooted in the heritage of a family tannery established in Pescia, Tuscany, in 1896. For more than a century, the Guidi name has been associated with meticulous craftsmanship, vegetable tanning and a profound respect for the individual character of leather. The contemporary label emerged from this historic foundation with a distinctly artistic vision, transforming time-honoured artisanal techniques into footwear, bags and fashion with an unmistakably modern presence. Each creation is developed through a careful balance of intuition and discipline, allowing raw materials to retain their natural depth, irregularity and tactile richness. Guidi’s design codes are immediately recognisable: hand-finished surfaces, sculptural proportions, deliberately distressed patinas, exposed construction and hardware that feels both functional and expressive. Rather than pursuing conventional polish, the brand embraces a poetic sense of imperfection, creating pieces that evolve with wear and become increasingly personal over time. The result is a signature aesthetic that sits between workwear, avant-garde tailoring and refined utility, offering enduring forms with an uncompromising attitude. Discover the distinctive character of the women's collection, where fluid silhouettes and considered details meet the label’s raw, architectural sensibility. Across Guidi Shoes, Guidi’s hand-shaped lasts and artisanal construction give every pair a compelling sense of individuality, from understated everyday profiles to commanding statement designs. The Ankle edit is particularly emblematic, pairing versatile proportions with softly sculpted lines and richly nuanced leather. For collectors of contemporary luxury, Guidi offers an alternative to seasonal fashion: a study in material, movement and enduring craft. Explore Guidi Shoes alongside the wider collection to experience a language of design defined by authenticity, tactile intensity and quiet confidence.
Guidi’s approach to leather extends naturally beyond footwear, shaping a considered edit of Guidi Bags defined by tactile surfaces, expressive volume and an unmistakably artisanal finish. Within the collection, Backpacks offer a practical interpretation of the house’s sculptural language, with softened construction and carefully handled straps that lend everyday utility a distinctive presence. The Crossbody Bags selection brings a more compact perspective, balancing hands-free function with the rich patina and tactile depth for which Guidi is known. For a more traditional silhouette, Handbags reveal the label’s ability to transform familiar forms through irregular finishes, considered proportions and discreet yet characterful detailing. The Shoulder Bags edit offers relaxed versatility, designed to sit naturally against the body while preserving the visual impact of hand-worked leather, and Totes provide generous capacity within a refined, architectural outline. Although bags and clothing are not currently in stock at EMVANO, these categories remain an essential part of the Guidi vocabulary and offer a valuable perspective on the brand’s complete creative world. In Guidi Clothing, the same commitment to material and construction informs pieces designed with an understated, directional attitude. Jackets introduce protective layers with softened structure, while Coats explore elongated proportions and enveloping volume. The Tops selection provides refined foundations for layered dressing, and Shirts bring a more precise interpretation of everyday dressing through subtle shaping and tactile fabrication. For a complete silhouette, Trousers and Skirts continue the label’s preference for relaxed lines, movement and quiet individuality. Each category reflects Guidi’s belief that luxury is found in touch, process and lasting character rather than overt decoration.
The Guidi accessories edit completes the label’s uncompromising approach to personal style, translating its material-led philosophy into details designed to gather character with use. Explore Guidi Accessories for a considered selection that complements the brand’s footwear and leather goods, including Belts with substantial proportions and richly finished surfaces, Gloves shaped by a tactile understanding of leather, and Hats that add a quietly architectural accent to layered dressing. The Wallets edit brings Guidi’s artisanal sensibility to everyday essentials, while Keyrings and Pouches offer smaller expressions of the house’s distinctive finish and considered utility. At the centre of the collection is Guidi Shoes, where Guidi’s expertise is most immediately felt in the balance of structure, comfort and expressive surface. The Boots category encompasses the label’s characteristic sculptural profiles, from substantial constructions to more adaptable everyday shapes. Within it, Ankle boots provide a particularly versatile foundation, pairing a close-fitting height with softly moulded lines, hand-treated leather and a confident urban attitude. The Knee High edit extends the silhouette with dramatic coverage and elongated proportion, while Lace-ups bring a utilitarian precision to the collection. For lighter seasonal dressing, Sandals offer an open, tactile interpretation of Guidi’s constructional language, and Sneakers reinterpret casual footwear through the maison’s distinctive finishes. The Flats category provides understated ease, while Heels introduce a more elevated profile without compromising the brand’s raw, sculptural identity. With one pair of Guidi Ankle boots currently in stock, EMVANO offers an immediate opportunity to experience the house’s exceptional leatherwork, expressive patina and enduringly individual approach to contemporary luxury.
