Artigianato Rallo Moda Positano

Location: In beautiful Positano on the Amalfi coast.
The story: The Rallo family has been hand-​making sandals and footwear for men and women (but mostly women) for three generations. This little shop is now being run by la mamma and her son, who seems to be the master shoemaker.
The goods: Sandals, obviously! We are talking top quality leather from the sole to the straps. You can choose a style from the numerous models they have on display, or you can custom order your own. I picked a style that I liked then chose the type/​color of leather that I wanted, and watched young Rallo hand-​make my sandals. You would think the process would be a lengthy one but nope — 20 minutes is all it takes. He will fit your foot to make sure the sole is the right size, then make some adjustments as he starts attaching the straps.
Price point: Mine were 65 € but this will depend on what you choose to order. Something simpler could cost less. That said, having sandals custom made for you in Positano? Dudes — that’s priceless.
