Bells & Becks shoes are crafted for those with a true appreciation for handmade, artisan fashion. Our shoes are made in top-tier Italian factories that produce methodically and with exacting precision. The feel of luxury is present because we use only the highest-quality components: buttery-soft leather uppers, leather outsoles, insoles, and linings, plus the finest hardware and finishes.

The Mirella is produced in a small family-run factory that has been producing footwear for decades in their facility in Porto Sant’Elpidio in the Marche region of Italy. It is owned and operated by a wonderful Brother and Sister who are part of a long family line that has been in shoe production for over 50 years. Their factory employs highly skilled workers to delivery on incredible detail work and quality that is unmatched. We are thrilled to be working with them to produce some of the most special shoes in the collection.

The Mirella is “lavorazione a Sacchetto” (made with a sacchetto construction), a rare, old-world shoemaking technique done by only a few Italian factories as extreme precision is required. It involves hand stitching the lining and the insole together and then sewing this piece to the upper of the shoe. The result is a flexible sole that adapts to movement and the curvature of the foot, a better structure to the shoe for maximal foot support, and of course, unparalleled fit and comfort.
