Named after the iconic curved rowlock that guides the gondolier’s oar, the Briccola model embodies balance, movement, and grace — core values of Venetian navigation and craftsmanship.

This deep brown iteration recalls the polished walnut of traditional Venetian boats. Wrapped in rich, matte velvet and fully lined with silk, the Forcola offers a luxurious reinterpretation of the classic boat shoe, reimagined for modern explorers.

Handmade in Friuli by Italian artisans, it features a flexible yet durable sole, allowing for effortless transitions between land and sea, from quiet canals to stone-paved piazzas.

Elegant, lightweight, and steeped in heritage, the Briccola marrone is perfect for those who appreciate timeless design with a story behind every step.

The world’s first velvet boat shoe — only by Gondolina Shoes.
