Granello carves niche with functional beauty

GRANELLO is a newcomer to the Italian leather scene with a distinctive focus towards functional designs for men and women.

The collections, available at Joyce boutiques, include men's and women's shoes, handbags and canvas bags, all embossed with the company's logo.

Men's shoes range from loafers to lace-up boots, derbies to ankle boots and riding boots.

Designs emerge with emphasis on new proportions and accents are on sturdy, heavy soles. These complement the classic shoe suited for office wear.

The collection's key trend also lies in the use of soft, shiny, patent leathers, with colours such as barley and sand.

Granello's brown suede loafers cost $2,400 a pair, the dark brown cap-toe lace-up shoes cost $2,600, the dark brown loafers are $2,600 and the dark brown loafers with straps cost $2,600.

Granello never misses out in the accessories line - like the canvas bag and small leather goods.
