Italian made, with love and care

Rondinella takes children’s shoes very seriously and the company is obsessed with quality and comfort. Rondinella has been producing childrens’ shoes since 1936 in the “Marche” region (the largest and most active center of shoe production in Italy). Every step of the production is key, from the choice of leathers to the tanning process and the way materials are used. The production team (also called “master shoemakers” in house) works by hand, assisted by technology when needed, focusing on anatomical support, breathability, and non-irritability. I like that approach. Some of the boys teenager models are quite funky, as well as these simple shapes with flashy colours.

Florence Rolando

Florence Rolando (journalist, co-founder of Bubble Trade Shows) was the original Founder of Pirouette in early 2009. Pirouette blog* has been a reference in the industry since it started with its combined business and consumer view of the children’s market. A fantastic resource for children’s fashion, design, trends and culture, it aims to support creativity and talent but it also does this by talking about life, family, culture and health.

Florence is an international leader in the industry (8 years as a Milk Collaborator, contributor to Naif Magazine in Spain, co-founder of Bubble Trade Shows in New York and London).

Now Florence runs Energy Therapy Porto @enrgy_therapy_porto
