These Chic Italian Sisters Designed the Comfiest Flats Around

last updated 13 August 2019

Why buy ordinary flats when you can snag a velvet pair that's handmade in Italy and designed by two incredibly stylish sisters? ViBi Venezia is a brand you should put on your radar ASAP—before everyone else finds out about it. Sisters Viola and Vera Arrivabene specialize in traditional Venetian slippers, and they ring in at a reasonable $87 to $93 at the current exchange rate. Kate Moss is already a fan, so we have a feeling the brand will blow up in no time.

Per a Footwear News interview, the sisters are descended from the Italian Savoia dynasty and grew up at the 16th century Palazzo Papadopoli directly on top of Venice's famed Grand Canal. In other words, you can officially say we're envious of the designer's glamorous life (and perfect shoes).
