Founded in Tuscany in 1974 by Mauro Sani, Buttero has become synonymous with authentic Italian leather craftsmanship and understated, utilitarian footwear. The brand takes its name from the butteri, the traditional Tuscan and Maremman cattle herders, reflecting a heritage rooted in the rugged landscapes and working culture of central Italy. From the beginning, Buttero has maintained a close relationship with traditional shoemaking, favouring natural materials, robust construction and designs that develop character through wear. Hand-finished leathers, sturdy soles and clean, pared-back silhouettes define the Buttero aesthetic, giving its footwear an unmistakable sense of authenticity. Rather than chasing seasonal trends, the brand focuses on longevity, allowing the natural ageing of its leathers to become part of each shoe’s character. For Monarch Avenue, Buttero represents the rawer side of Italian luxury — artisanal, understated and beautifully grounded in the enduring craft of Tuscan shoemaking.
