The history of the Barbera family began in 1968, when Sandro Barbera opened his shop in the center of Biella with his wife. With commitment and creativity he managed to become the most appreciated shoemaker in the city and to transmit his passion also to his children, Andrea and Stefano. Today the concept of sustainability for Andrea and Stefano takes on a double value. On the one hand, it means enhancing the territory through collaborations with Biellese realities and companies. This is the case of Reda, with whom the two brothers have created a shoe model in 100% natural merino wool. In the same way, the concept of quality is equally valuable, since creating a well-made shoe that lasts over time involves less impact in the waste disposal chain.
