An alliance that values craftsmanship

At Castellano, we have been dedicated to creating handmade footwear of the highest quality since 1920. Our loafers, handcrafted by expert artisans, are a testament to our passion for detail and excellence in every stitch. Zara, in its quest to enrich its offerings with unique products that tell stories, has decided to rely on our expertise to complement the opening of its first café in this new space.

Why have they chosen us? The answer is clear: Castellano represents the essence of Madrid. Our designs combine tradition and modernity, and reflect a philosophy of sustainability and durability that fits perfectly with the direction Zara is taking. In a world where fast fashion dominates, attention to detail and the value of handmade items are becoming an upward trend.

Exclusive models chosen by Zara

Zara has selected some of our most iconic models for this special collaboration. Among them, our classic model 800 stands out, reinterpreted with exclusive color and material combinations that reflect the sophistication and character of this collaboration. We have also developed an elegant boat shoe, perfect for a casual yet refined style, and other exclusive models created specifically for this occasion, combining innovation and tradition in a unique design.

Each of these models is the result of hours of artisanal work, using premium materials and techniques that we have perfected over more than a century. These are pieces that not only offer style, but also comfort and durability, characteristics that represent the heart of Castellano.

Loafers, Castellano's hallmark, have always been a fashion classic. However, in recent years, this footwear has become a must-have for any wardrobe, both male and female.

In this collaboration with Zara, we present an exclusive selection of our most iconic models, adapted for a clientele looking to combine elegance and comfort. Polished leather loafers with modern details, each pair is a tribute to versatility and Madrid style.
