The Apepazza Story
Apepazza means “crazy bee” in Italian. In Italy, apepazza shoes means Adriana Bagante, one of Italy’s foremost shoe designers and the brains behind the “bee.”
Launched in 1982, apepazza has been dazzling the fashion world with its unique collections combining old world craftsmanship, exquisite materials and cutting-edge style. It takes over 200 artisans alone to handcraft the detailing found on each and every pair of apepazza shoes. WOW!
” Each shoe is a labor of love,” says Adriana, the daughter to two of Italy’s top fashion designers, Ruggero (Ruggi) and Luciana Bagante. Adriana was born to design shoes. “I was born in my parents’ shoe store [Moda Ruggi in Padova, Italy],” says Adriana with a laugh. “Literally, no kidding” It is here where she developed her intense passion for fashion and design and her deep respect for craftsmanship and detail.
During her childhood, Adriana eagerly assisted both her parents – intently learning every aspect of the business they so loved and nurtured. By the time Adriana was 18 (and before graduating from the famed Stra Academy), the most respected and talented designers in Italy were visiting her parents’ shop for Adriana’s opinion of their latest collections.
