The Alberto Gozzi factory, owned and operated by the Gozzi family since its founding in 1974, has produced high-end shoes for many of the world’s top luxury brands over the years. In the immediate future, the high-end factory will develop and produce luxury shoes for Jimmy Choo and Versace. The production of Michael Kors Collection premium shoes will be added at a later date.
