The Casadei label is synonymous with an all-Italian success story, marked by the milestones achieved thanks to great passion and self-sacrifice. The brand can trace its origins back to 1958, when Quinto and Flora Casadei founded the first embryo of what was to grow into a company of international reach.
And we have to admit that the instinct of Quinto Casadei-currently at the helm of the footwear and leather facilities of S. Mauro Pascoli in the province of Cesena-proved strong and true when he decided to expand his small crafts laboratory, in which he had already started to produce dream footwear of sophisticated workmanship for a select female clientele.
This entrepreneurial and pioneering spirit enabled Casadei to go beyond Italy's borders in long-ago 1964, already revealing the chief talent of the men of this company: a vocation for anticipating styles and trends. A vocation transmitted in its entirety to the second-generation top management, Cesare Casadei, burnt by the sacred fire of art, who joined his father Quinto's company a good 20 years ago.
Cesare Casadei grew up among the fragrance of leather and the energising flavour of research applied to high technology, his daily challenge. Today, Cesare is the driver and creative spirit of Casadei, in addition to refereeing its commercial outcomes, while his cousin Fabrizio manages the maison's financial affairs. Season after season, Cesare is the sharp and sensitive interpreter of a tenacious and unflagging impulse to continuously renew and reinvent the family company's DNA, crafting shoes for women who the creative and business mind defines as original, self-confident and alternative, yet always and inevitably the stars of the galaxy in which they live. Whose key feature is an irrepressible, acclaimed femininity of stunning shoes, true objects of precious design, Made in Italy from exclusive and hand-finished materials, imprinted with the skilled workmanship that is the domain of irreplaceable craftsman. And it is precisely this constructive, Made in Italy know-how that is still the vital essence of this dynamic company, firmly anchored to its roots of manufacturing excellence, always looking to the future, fully immersed in the global present.
