A single strap across the instep can change everything — it turns a slipper into a statement, a quiet gesture into an act of intention. The Mary Jane velvet Friulane for women is Piedaterre's most recognizably feminine silhouette, uniting the charm of an enduring classic with the refinement of Venetian artisanship honed since 1952 at the Rialto Bridge. The rounded toe, wide neckline, and closed heel create a frame of softness, while the iconic strap provides visual structure and a reassuringly secure fit that stays with you from morning to night.

The upper is crafted from 100% cotton velvet, its plush surface offering a tactile richness that photographs cannot fully convey — it must be felt. The strap bridges the opening with a clean horizontal line that flatters every foot shape, secured at each side by the same hand-stitching that holds the entire slipper together. Grosgrain ribbon in a matching tone outlines the silhouette with the finesse of haute couture finishing, while the Venetian glass pearl — hand-applied to the outer side — brings a quiet luminescence rooted in Murano tradition. A breathable cotton lining ensures the interior stays cool and comfortable even through extended wear.
