Larroudé and Italian designer Nicolò Beretta released their third collection together, sold exclusively on larroude.com, and the vertiginous heights of the first two drops have been dialled back.
The sculptural curved heel that marked those drops stays, now joined by a kitten-heel version, because Beretta wanted shoes that carry a working woman from daytime into the evening. Prices run from $425 to $650, and the partnership itself began in fall 2025.
The woman Beretta had in mind has a job and a full schedule. He calls her a “more dynamic woman” who still expects femininity and a little sex appeal from her shoes, and day-to-night is the stated brief for the range. For scale, the Lola platform sandal from an earlier drop stands on a 6-inch heel and a 2.4-inch platform.
The Lucia slingback pump, $425, puts the kitten heel in patent leather and keeps the curve of Beretta’s signature shape; it comes in black, with white and burgundy versions too. A step up at $450 are the Grace pump, in black or burgundy patent leather, and the Inna pump, in black suede. The Isabella platform mule in black patent leather is $490, and the Anastasia Low boot in black Lycra tops the range at $650.
The palette runs black, white, burgundy and lilac, with the lilac turning up on the Maria, a bow-adorned satin mule at $425 that also comes in burgundy and black. Beretta took his cue from The Shards, a series that gave 1980s American style a girly, preppy reading.
The first collection launched on 14 October 2025 with five silhouettes: a thigh-high boot, a pointed mule, a semi-sheer boot, an ankle-cut bootie and a slim ballet flat, in black, white, vivid red, pale blue and baby pink. The curvaceous heel sat on the mule and the boots. The Zuzu mesh boot and the Anastasia boot share the winding heel of the Inna mule, while the Vittoria pump and the Maria ballet flat rounded out the range. All of it was handcrafted at Larroudé’s factories in Brazil, and a second collection followed in spring 2026.
The Inna mule, $450, has a heel measuring 4.2 inches at the back, with the upper narrowing to a pointed toe, and Larroudé’s own copy calls the sinuous heel the focal point of the shoe. Beretta took the female body as his reference for the shapes and drew the satin shades from lingerie and corsetry, calling the result “an ode to femininity” when he explained the collection to Footwear News by email. Marina Larroudé, cofounder and chief creative officer of the brand, said in a statement: “When I see true talent, I know it deserves a platform.”
Nana, a gold specchio sandal with a single front strap and a crystal chain at the ankle, is $450, and the Lola at $490 has a strappy ankle tie. Beretta’s page on the site now lists 28 pieces, among them the Dani, a satin sandal with criss-cross front straps and ankle ties, and the Malibu mule pump, in patent leather and gold specchio, both $425. The Inna mule comes in satin at $450 in black, scarlet, mahogany and sand, and the Grace pump in black or sand satin is $475.
Zoey Deutch walked around New York in the black satin Inna mule with a white knee-length dress that has a draped, asymmetric neckline. Tiffany Haddish wore the gold specchio Nana to the Los Angeles premiere of Disney’s “Moana”, and Teyonah Parris appeared in the Lola in satin. Jennifer Garner and Gwyneth Paltrow have been fans of earlier styles, as has Isla Fisher.
Born in Milan and raised in Sydney, Beretta launched Giannico in 2013, at 17, and was soon added to Vogue Italia’s Emerging Designers list. In 2016, at 21, he won the Vivian Infantino Emerging Talent Award from Footwear News for the line at the 30th annual Footwear News Achievement Awards and remains the youngest recipient in the award’s history. Marina Larroudé introduced his first collection to the US market, which Footwear News describes as a full-circle moment now that he designs for her brand.
Larroudé launched in 2020, founded by Marina and her husband Ricardo with $4,000 and a Shopify site, and opened with four styles. In 2023, it opened a factory in Sapiranga, Brazil, covering 10,000 square metres, where production, logistics, marketing and administration share one roof, with a stated capacity of roughly 30,000 pairs a month. The team has grown from five people to 750, and the Beretta page on the site sells the line as “glamour with a wink”, designed in Italy and made by Larroudé.
Altuzarra, Jonathan Cohen, Markarian, Ciao Lucia, Parke and Sheridan Cox have all had collections with Larroudé, and Sergio Hudson is a recent addition, with a first footwear collaboration that debuted during New York Fashion Week and centres on a pointed-toe stiletto pump inspired by his mother.
