Philosophy
Bionda Castana is a luxury shoe brand founded in 2007 by Natalia Barbieri and Jennifer Portman, a half-Italian, London born artistic duo who create fanciful, feminine shoes and handbags combining Italy’s artisanal heritage with an eccentrically British attitude.
Designed in London and handcrafted in a small town near Lake Como, Bionda Castana creations boasts infinitely wearable styles in sumptuous leather and exotic textures mixed with a wide range of vivid color combinations.
Emphasis is on classic design, the finest fabrics and exceptional craftsmanship with a distinctive youthfulness and fun aesthetic.
Since its launch, the brand rapidly gained momentum and has been a favourite among editors and celebrities such as Olivia Palermo, Eva Mendes, Alexa Chung and Taylor Swift and it is now stocked internationally in the world’s most illustrious department stores and online destinations such as Harrods, Selfridges, Harvey Nichols.
