Classic Menswear Constructions: A Modern Woman’s Essential

This exclusive capsule collection is the natural evolution of a shared vision between Officina del Poggio founder Allison Hoeltzel and designer Jessica Taft Langdon, both with decades of experience in luxury accessories and footwear. In a market where most women’s shoes prioritize trend over longevity, Langdon and ODP are rewriting the script: feminine footwear with classic menswear constructions, built to last.

Made in Bologna with Enzo Bonafè

Each pair is handcrafted in Bologna, Italy in collaboration with the historic shoemaker Enzo Bonafè—a family-run factory with over 60 years of shoemaking heritage. These shoes are crafted with every detail rooted in traditional techniques.

The Capsule Collection features:

  • Monk Strap Moccasin – A sleek, low-profile classic with a single buckle
  • Double Buckle Boot – An ankle boot with elegant edge and timeless sophistication

Both styles are made in dark ebony calfskin, featuring solid stacked cuoio heels and all-leather lining.

The Craftsmanship: Designed to Be Worn, Built to Last

Women deserve the same durability, comfort, and elegance that’s standard in traditional men’s footwear.

Each pair is made with a Blake construction, a traditional Italian technique in which the upper, insole, and outsole are stitched together with a single, strong seam from the inside, creating a refined, flexible fit which moulds to the foot.

Sustainable. Resoleable. Timeless.
This is footwear made to last for years, not seasons. With proper care and occasional resoling, each pair will endure confidently and consciously through a lifetime of wear.
