What is Vic Matié?
Vic Matié is an Italian shoe brand created in 1987 by Renato Curzi, who launched several brands that year and gave this one a French-inspired name. Curzi leads the business as group CEO, with Silvia Curzi as art director. The company has a showroom and meeting space in Milan in a converted post-industrial building.
Products and positioning
The brand's guiding idea is shoes that are beautiful and innovative but genuinely wearable, rather than made only for show. Curzi sums up the identity as a strong identity, high quality Italian manufacturing and an international taste. Collections have featured:
- Brushed and textured leathers, pony, nubuck and greased calf
- Lightweight monoblock soles, wedges and flared heels
- Rubber details and geometric metal finishes
- A sporty, urban yet feminine look
A second line, 87 Vic Matié, named after the founding year, offers more everyday pieces at accessible prices.
Production combines artisan craftsmanship with industrial scale in Italy, with some styles requiring up to half a day of manual work.
Distribution
Vic Matié sells across Europe and Italy as well as in Russia, Turkey, China and North America.
Why it matters
Vic Matié reflects the Italian footwear model of family-led companies pairing hand finishing with industrial production for international wholesale.
