MANILA, Philippines - Classic with a twist — classico con twiste — that’s the style of Franco Sarto, the Italian footwear designer whose first store outside the US is found in Greenbelt 5 in Makati.
Brown Shoe Company Inc., in partnership with Stores Specialists Inc., brings to the Philippines this brand with a rich heritage.
Designer Franco Sarto’s humble beginnings and constant exposure to the craft have made him one of the respected and recognized names in the industry. Having the first-hand experience of making shoes, he has shown incredible passion as a designer.
While the technician in him continually pushes him to make shoes as comfortable as possible, the other side of Sarto lives for fashion.
Franco Sarto’s collection brings together numerous styles that fit a woman’s active lifestyle. Loafer-style shoes in various colors, designs, and heights make up the collection alongside sling back wedges that are definitely easy. Sarto also has strappy pairs and elegant laminated leather slip-ons that can match a classic dress or suit. Made of suede, leather, or patent leather, Sarto’s footwear shows careful attention to detail.
The Franco Sarto boutique is done with an artisan mural, leather seating, and Venetian plaster walls. The Italian maple flooring that is truly Franco Sarto makes it all the more inviting for the discriminating shopper.
In the Philippines, Franco Sarto is located at Greenbelt 5, Rustan’s Makati, Eastwood Mall, and Rustan’s Alabang.
