Address
Via Camerelle - Capri

In 1946 Amedeo, shoemaker of great talent, known for his prolific production of colorful sandals, opened the boutique "Canfora".

Over the decades, Amedeo's splendid sandals, made in wonderful soft leather and decorated with exquisite pieces of costume jewelry, have been purchased by customers of international fame such as Princess Margaret, Princess Caroline, Soraya, Maria Callas, Oona Chaplin, Sofia Loren, Clark Gable, Humphrey Bogart, Dawn Addams, Anita Ekberg, Naomi Campbell and many others.....

Canfora was a favorite of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, for whom Amedeo never hesitated to open his shop out of normal trading hours so as to guarantee his client a fitting in total privacy. The sandal christened "K" was made exclusively for Mrs Onassis.

Angela and Rita, Amedeo's daughters, have inherited the artistic skills of their father, and continue to make the beautiful handmade leather sandals from the little shop in Capri, updating the designs each year to reflect the changing fashions and as an expression of their innate creative talent.

Started off well and then dropped off sharply

The sandals are high-quality, the service is abysmal. No response to emails, no response to calls. As good as the sandals are, I would not order online there again. In the store directly, it might look different, but like this, never again. What they can do is automated promotional emails. Unfortunately, nothing more than that. A pity really, since the sandals themselves are good.

DO NOT ORDER online from Canfora. They are not only disorganised as they sent the wrong size sandals (both pairs) but they ignored the bespoke heel request. Then after many emails which they never answer I managed to reach them on the telephone after tens of calls. They then sent the correct sandals but they broke within hours of use and they arrived with the strap buckle secured the wrong way on the sandal. Now I cannot reach them again after sending them images of the broken sandals.....

Very disappointed, more than a month to receive the chosen sandals, never any reply to mail , Instagram contacts , until they answer the thousandth phone call, saying that they were waiting from the supplier for the chain that had ended. I don't know if that's true. Of course it is true that when I finally received them I wanted to cry, The famous Josephin sea chain was clearly a Chinese product, the golden/pink color chosen by me, was a fake but a fake that only the Chinese can produce, .like the very low quality gilding of jewelry by H&M, Zara etc. A sandal sold at 400 € , the customer does not expect Chinese materials!!!! You couldn't see this strange color of the chain in the photos on the site! I trusted Italian craftsmen who betrayed the good name of Italianness. Last but not least, I couldn't make returns.

I ordered custom-sized slippers but received a pair about 3 cm too long. Despite several polite messages and a request for a replacement, the seller did not respond. I’m now stuck with unusable shoes. I will report this to chargeback services and ECC (European Consumer Centre). Very misleading experience.
