History

Adanti has been active as an agent for luxury handmade Italian shoes for almost 40 years. The company has built a solid repu­ta­tion over the years. One based on quality and passion for luxurious and trendy walking comfort. Adanti has been able to guarantee ex­clus­iv­ity from the outset by con­sist­ently opting to dis­trib­ute through a select number of spe­ci­al­ity stores. And that is still the case today.

The current owner, Marcel Koppen, took over the reins in 1994. He brought extensive ex­per­i­ence in designing and selling exclusive shoes to the table. As a 4th gen­er­a­tion seller of quality shoes, he learned the trade at Clarks in Great Britain, among others, and as a modeller at the renowned Italian man­u­fac­turer Mauro Teci. With this technical knowledge behind him, he was able to move to creating col­lec­tions.

Adanti has expanded in­ter­na­tion­ally over the years. Several A-class brands were added to the portfolio to meet the critical consumer demand. It made sense to change the name to Gruppo Adanti after expanding. As well, Gruppo Adanti con­tinu­ously invests in knowledge, training and un­con­di­tion­al crafts­man­ship.
