It all began with the young Giovanni Tartufoli, a passionate craftsman who, back in 1953, started crafting his first shoes on the roof of his house. At only 13 years old, observing the local artisans with curiosity, he decided to learn the trade that would revolutionize his future.
The choice of the name ‘King’ represents a stylish touch that dates back to an era when English names were very fashionable. To give the company an international flair, Giovanni chose this regal name that harkens back to a time when fashion and the choice of a name were closely intertwined. Hence, KING TARTUFOLI evokes a sense of prestige and power linked to tradition.
Today, the brand is carried forward with passion and dedication by his children, Sofia and Giacomo Tartufoli.
Every shoe we produce is more than just an object; it is a story, our story. We explore new paths without forgetting our roots, blending tradition and experience with a contemporary approach. The quality of raw materials and the professionalism of our collaborators are essential values for us.
