Officially inaugurated in December 2022, A di GAETA’s first atelier is an exclusive destination to discover the brand in its full essence.
A creative home for its founder and team, it is at once a studio, laboratory, office and, above all, a welcoming living room where shopping becomes an experience. Nestled within historic Palazzo Marietti, in the heart of Le 5 Vie, Milan’s oldest district, it is surrounded by galleries, artisan boutiques, antique shops, art studios and hidden courtyards.
Milan’s best kept secret
“More than a store, our atelier is a hidden spot for imaginative, unconventional ideas and women, it’s a place where creativity, craftsmanship and clients come together through a shared appreciation for thoughtfully crafted objects. I discovered this forgotten space by chance, tucked behind a discreet glass door on a quiet street in old Milan. Its understated, imperfect beauty felt like the soul of what I always envisioned for A di GAETA: a tribute to dreamers who seek the extraordinary in the ordinary, and to individuality expressed through unique, timeless beauty. Bringing the atelier to life was a true labour of love. While expecting my first child, my family and friends helped me reveal the space’s original walls and transform it into a second home for me. It is a secret retreat where creativity flourishes, connections grow and the city’s relentless rhythm gives way to a quieter, more meaningful pace.”
The Shoe Library
In our atelier, shoes are presented as cherished treasures in a library. We’ve brought to life a true shoe library, offering an experience reminiscent of exploring a traditional bibliothèque. Each shoe is crafted with intention and every design holds its own distinct story. Much like a book that is uniquely interpreted by each reader, every shoe can be styled and worn in endless ways, celebrating the individuality of its wearer.
The true essence of the A di GAETA experience lies in the deep bond formed between our products and the women who choose them. Our designs are not just footwear creations, they are reflections of the women who wear them. Every person who enters our atelier becomes part of our creative process, collaborating to design something truly personal to her.
Purchasing a pair of A di GAETA shoes is more than choosing a favourite colour or style, it’s about personalising each piece to naturally fit into your life.
Shoes where desire meets need, practicality meets beauty, and individuality comes first. Modular designs that challenge convention and adapt to the many ways women live.
