Andrè Maritan born in 1971, his perennial creativity associated with a multifaceted personality, the desire to deal with countries from all over the world, lead Andrè Maritan to create his first design studio at only 22 years old. The studio was born in one of the areas of Italy where part of the footwear sector is concentrated: the Riviera del Brenta. A small area between Padua and Venice where most of the top brands have decided to build their operational headquarters.
Here, between art, passion and fashion, Andrè Maritan begins to make himself known by designing his first collections for Italian and foreign companies. We can mention some of the most important collaborations such as Alviero Martini, Versace, Ballin, Henderson, Crocs, Primadonna, DrScholl's. We should also mention the collaborations with two giants of the US market such as Nine West and Browns Shoes. Andrè Maritan has designed collections for these two big names on the American market for many years, capable of producing millions of shoes a year.
After only 3 years, Italy was no longer enough for Andrè Maritan, the desire to expand beyond the border was a goal to be conquered. From here began collaborations not only in Europe with countries such as Holland, Germany, Spain but also with overseas countries such as Brazil, USA, Russia, China, Japan, collaborations with companies from over 15 countries.
