WHO WE ARE

The Near project was born in the heart of Salento thanks to the passion of local master craftsmen who have been making handmade sandals for more than 30 years.

​

Each part of the sandal is made, transformed and assembled by hand

to give life to the finished product, using exclusively fine leather insoles and Italian hides.

​

Near wants to express the ancient tradition of "Salento" sandals in a contemporary way.
