Canfora - Capri Sandals

In 1946 Amedeo, shoemaker of great talent, known for his prolific production of colorful sandals, opened the boutique "Canfora".

Over the decades, Amedeo's splendid sandals, made in wonderful soft leather and decorated with exquisite pieces of costume jewelry, have been purchased by customers of international fame such as Princess Margaret, Princess Caroline, Soraya, Maria Callas, Oona Chaplin, Sofia Loren, Clark Gable, Humphrey Bogart, Dawn Addams, Anita Ekberg, Naomi Campbell and many others.....

Canfora was a favorite of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, for whom Amedeo never hesitated to open his shop out of normal trading hours so as to guarantee his client a fitting in total privacy. The sandal christened "K" was made exclusively for Mrs Onassis.

Angela and Rita, Amedeo's daughters, have inherited the artistic skills of their father, and continue to make the beautiful handmade leather sandals from the little shop in Capri, updating the designs each year to reflect the changing fashions and as an expression of their innate creative talent.

Who We Are

Our work begins by creating soles with best quality leather, we use only natural Italian products. Several strata of leather are pressed and hand-sewn to obtain the bottom of our sandals.


Same genuineness is kept to work at the strips and the upper of our sandals, it’s certified as the authentic Italian leather and the applications of costume jewellery are simply the best and most original products of fine Italian market.


Amedeo Canfora has transmitted the passion and the art to his daughters Angela and Rita and all the family, with a unique and unmistakable handmade mastery, they cut the leather soles and apply the gorgeous preparations chosen by the thousands of customers that visit the store in Capri or order them on the website.


It makes Canfora the most coveted boutique in Capri island, the only one place where all the social mavens, models and celebs go to pick up the highest embellished sandals that are a must all over the world.
