I’m ‘Roya, which in Persian language means a dream. I’m a fruit of a collaboration between silk weavers of Banaras, the capital of silk weaving in India, and the Italian shoe master Luigi. The fabric used on my skin is woven with pure silk using traditional weaving techniques that require longer hours and precisions from the weaver. Once woven, Luigi then transforms this handwoven silk brocade to a traditional Venetian slipper called ‘Friulane’or ‘Papusse’, which I am today.
