Franco Sarto Handbags and Purses

Sarto's passion for shoes started early. Born near Venice Italy, Franco Sarto got his start as a cobbler hand stitching shoes in a factory at age 14. At age 20, Sarto was sure that shoes and fashion were his true passion and moved to the centre of shoe design in Italy, the city of Stra. In Stra, Sarto studied and mastered the art of design and craftsmanship before striking out on his own.

Sarto and his then partner Candia traveled Europe selling their beautiful shoe prototypes and designing collections for various companies. The Sarto name became well known for his designs and his passion for beautiful and comfortable women's shoes. Sarto's love of fashion and his passion for good design influenced him to begin designing handbags. With equal love for good shoes and good accessories, Sarto's handbag designs are stylish, sophisticated, and made with old-world quality.
