History

Adanti has been active as an agent for luxury handmade Italian shoes for almost 40 years. The company has built a solid reputation over the years. One based on quality and passion for luxurious and trendy walking comfort. Adanti has been able to guarantee exclusivity from the outset by consistently opting to distribute through a select number of speciality stores. And that is still the case today.

The current owner, Marcel Koppen, took over the reins in 1994. He brought extensive experience in designing and selling exclusive shoes to the table. As a 4th generation seller of quality shoes, he learned the trade at Clarks in Great Britain, among others, and as a modeller at the renowned Italian manufacturer Mauro Teci. With this technical knowledge behind him, he was able to move to creating collections.

Adanti has expanded internationally over the years. Several A-class brands were added to the portfolio to meet the critical consumer demand. It made sense to change the name to Gruppo Adanti after expanding. As well, Gruppo Adanti continuously invests in knowledge, training and unconditional craftsmanship.
