About Francosarto
Caleres Inc., based in the United States, owns Franco Sarto. While Caleres was founded in 1949, Mr. Sarto was an apprentice craftsman living on the outskirts of Venice at the time. Mr. Sarto moved to Stra, the heart of the Italian shoemaking industry, in his twenties, and established his own design studio. His shoe designs became an instant hit among Italian women thanks to his cobbler skills and intuitive marketing techniques. Today, a beautifully curated selection of high-quality women’s wear demonstrates the artistry and stroke of a master.
