BRAND STORY
The furlana is the quintessential Venetian slipper, with a name dating back to the XIX century when ingenious and brave ladies from Friuli began producing footwear with leftover fabrics and old bicycle tires. The legend narrates that a family decided to open a parlor for their "scarpez" (shoes in Friuli dialect) right by the Rialto Bridge.

The friulana became an immediate success among gondolieres, as the rubber sole allowed them to maintain firm grip when rowing while protecting the precious pitch-black varnish on their gondolas. This practical heritage combined with Italian craftsmanship created a footwear tradition that continues today.

Vibi honors this Venetian heritage by maintaining traditional construction methods while incorporating contemporary luxury materials, ensuring each furlana represents both cultural authenticity and modern comfort for today's sophisticated woman.
