Claudia Ciuti
Always an imaginative sketcher, Claudia was fascinated by the world of style. Coming from a family that has for decades produced shoes for various levels, it was inevitable that she could find herself involved in the creation of footwear. It was not a surprise when, at nineteen, Claudia enrolled into the Fashion Institute of Design in Florence and started working in her father’s factory. She spent sometime learning the meaning of high quality, craftmenship and the importance of searching and using the finest materials.
She began traveling the fashion capitals of the world to open new markets and new customers. Thank to the experienced marketing management of Roberto Angiolucci, who later became her husband, the line was placed in the best stores and department stores in Japan,Hong Kong, Korea, Taiwan and the finest boutiques in the Far East. By the time the product was established in Asia, Claudia and Roberto started working on their biggest challenge, The American Market.
After numerous seasons of Hotel fairs in the United States, Claudia and Roberto decide to open a permanent showroom in the fashionable 57th street in New York. In a relatively short period of time, given the originality and variety of delayers and fabrication, the Claudia Ciuti line has reached substantial market recognition in the fashion footwear industry.
