Santoni presents The Art of Encounter for Spring Summer 2027, a collection shaped by the connections between people, places and ideas. The season starts from exchange as a source of creation and studies how tradition, innovation, personal gesture and contemporary life can meet through footwear and leather goods.
SHOES
The collection opens with the Carlo loafer, one of Santoni’s key designs. The shoe returns with its Goodyear Reverse construction, which gives the silhouette softness, lightness and flexibility. This season, Santoni adds a new layer of personalization through interchangeable tassels. The brand introduces them through One Live, its personalization service within the One of One customization program, allowing each pair to carry an individual character.
Santoni continues this focus on material and technique with the Ira double buckle. The Maison crafts the style in supple Seta suede and adds an Origine full grain calfskin toe finished with its Velatura hand coloring technique. The result gives a familiar silhouette a contemporary expression through texture, color and proportion. The Arlo bag extends the same material dialogue into leather goods, bringing a relaxed and refined attitude to the season.
The Oscar double buckle loafer and Didi work bag introduce a more urban side of the Santoni wardrobe. Santoni crafts Oscar in Origine leather and updates its classic shape through contemporary proportions and Goodyear Reverse construction. The Didi bag brings function and refinement into the same language, expanding the house’s leather goods offer for daily use.
The casual part of the collection focuses on comfort and a lighter rhythm. The Off Duty combines sneaker comfort with the refinement of traditional shoemaking, while the Weekender sneaker offers a more relaxed approach to everyday elegance. Santoni carries this attitude into the Eco bag, a reversible shopping bag made in Granato dome grain calfskin leather and silky Seta suede. The brand designs the bag for personalization through charms and coordinated accessories.
Santoni also expands its women’s wardrobe with a Spring Summer 2027 preview. The collection takes inspiration from key masculine icons within the Maison and translates them through refined proportions and a contemporary view of femininity. Carla mirrors the Carlo loafer, while the women’s Off Duty sneaker, Weekender sneaker and Ira double buckle draw from established men’s codes. The men’s and women’s collections share a design language while keeping their own identities.
Across the season, Santoni places its artisanal signatures in focus. Intrecci uses hand woven fine leather strips to bring texture, depth and movement to footwear and leather goods. Serpentine builds a sculptural effect through slender leather strips placed by hand. Sigillo, the Maison’s handmade stitching, turns connection into a visible detail.
During Milan Fashion Week, Santoni welcomes guests to its Via Monte Napoleone showroom for an intimate presentation dedicated to encounter. A sculptural table inspired by the infinity symbol presents five defining elements of the Maison: Arancio Santoni, Seta, Velatura, Serpentine and Goodyear Reverse construction. Live demonstrations bring the techniques into view. One artisan shows the making of the interchangeable tassels for Carlo and Carla, while another presents hand stitching techniques, from thread preparation to Sigillo.
