Testoni’s FW25 collection, unveiled during Milan Fashion Week at the stunning crypt of San Sepolcro, is an ode to timeless Italian craftsmanship and modern functionality. Inspired by the historic architecture of Bologna, the collection masterfully translates the city’s medieval arches, intricate weaves, and sculptural silhouettes into luxury footwear and leather goods.
With a deep reverence for heritage and an eye for innovation, Testoni presents a season of refined textures, sophisticated palettes, and exquisite artisanal techniques.
Architectural Elegance in Leather & Design
This season, Testoni’s FW25 collection draws from Bologna’s rich color palette, featuring earthy tones like Camel, Brick, and Lambrusco alongside refined neutrals such as Nude, Sand, and Powder. Cooler shades of Ash and Raven add a contemporary edge, echoing the striking contrasts found in the city’s historic arcades.
The collection’s standout details include the Lacquer Spiral, a meticulously crafted hand-lacquered motif that evolves from last season’s Gold Spiral. This labor-intensive technique—involving molding, engraving, plating, and lacquering—ensures both brilliance and durability, making each piece a wearable work of art.
The Intreccio Grande, a contemporary take on traditional woven leather patterns, adds a bold, ornamental touch to bags and footwear, reinforcing the brand’s legacy of artisanal mastery.
Luxury Handbags: Where Functionality Meets Refinement
Testoni introduces a versatile range of handbags, seamlessly balancing form and function. The Enzo Shopper, available in two sizes, offers clean lines and timeless proportions, while the Amedeo series highlights the signature Lacquer Spiral in a striking reinterpretation. The Jole Hobo bag, now in a smaller crossbody version, blends practicality with elegance, making it an ideal everyday statement piece.
Shoes That Redefine Classic Silhouettes
The FW25 footwear collection harmonizes classic Italian elegance with contemporary detailing. The T Heel series expands with new booties and Intreccio knit sock boots, introducing modern interpretations of heritage craftsmanship. The Spiral Flats, with their intricate spiral embellishments, elevate everyday loafers and slippers, making them a seamless addition to any wardrobe.
Sneakers play a prominent role this season, with the Intreccio Chunky Sneakers making a bold statement through sculptural soles and handwoven patterns. The loafer-style sneaker blends the comfort of casual footwear with sleek sophistication, while the Intreccio knit sporty model introduces stretch materials for flexibility and lightness—perfect for the modern lifestyle.
An Iconic Heritage, Reimagined for the Future
Testoni’s FW25 collection is more than just a seasonal offering—it is a celebration of heritage, innovation, and craftsmanship, inspired by the grandeur of Bologna’s architectural beauty. From hand-stitched leather detailing to pioneering weaving techniques, the collection merges artistic storytelling with modern-day functionality.
With a legacy built on exceptional materials and refined aesthetics, Testoni once again proves that true luxury is timeless, crafted to be both cherished and worn effortlessly.
