What to know about A Dicianoveventitre
Carpe Diem lineage, one designer
A1923 is the work of self-taught Roman designer Simone Cecchetto, an original member of Maurizio Altieri's Carpe Diem studio; the name marks his grandmother's 1923 birth year.
Leather choice drives the price
Shoes are handmade in Italy from shell cordovan, llama and vegetable-tanned hides, hand-dyed and built with old-world construction, which explains the very high tier.
Irregularity is intentional
A wabi-sabi approach treats patina and uneven surfaces as part of the design, seen in curved-sole derbies and sculptural boots plus bags and belts.
