Tacchificio Villa Cortese anticipates market needs by relying on continuous research into new environmentally friendly performance materials
“We are moving forward. We are not stopping, that’s for sure. Our FheelGreen® and FheelBio® BCA product lines do not represent an achieved goal, but only the one step on a sustainability path destined, even in our own small way, to reduce impacts and minimise risks, to benefit the community and the environment,” stated Federica Capone, Sales Account, at Lineapelle. “The great challenge is to transform the entire supply chain: sustainability is a driver of strategic change, that requires commitment from all stakeholders. The dream is to be able to overcome all scepticism. In addition to Fheel – continues Federica Capone – we have developed many other brands that meet specific needs in terms of sustainability and performance. Changing mindsets is difficult, it is often thought that the sustainable component does not provide the same performance in terms of finish, assembly, durability etc. as traditional ABS. This is not the case, just as it was not the case when we switched from wooden heels to plastic ones.” With regard to finishes, the new collection on display is in line with the trends of the 2025 summer season: lacquering, galvanising, coatings, laser engravings, milling, flocking, rhinestones, iridescent plexi, and hand-painting are the processes calibrated to the shapes and materials requested by the client. Each product is a masterpiece that demonstrates all the potential of the historic heel factory on the outskirts of Milan, an example of innovative SME recognised by the most prestigious international fashion brands for excellence, quality, eco-sustainability and traceability.
