LACCICO stands for quality, tradition, and European craftsmanship. The name combines the Italian word "LACCI" (lace) with the ambition of a specialized "CO" (company).
Echoing Italian phonetics, the name is pronounced [ˈlatʃiko] – with the stress on the first syllable. The idea originated where craftsmanship is at its heart: on our travels together through the workshops of Italy.
As a trained shoemaker with a master craftsman's certificate (earned in 1995), I don't see shoes as fashion items, but as a piece of engineering. Since the late 1980s, I have gained in-depth knowledge of dozens of workshops, tanneries, and suppliers across Europe. I understand how leather behaves and how pressure must be distributed within the shoe.
This knowledge informs every selection of our products. At LACCICO, there are no compromises: I personally inspect every batch – with the trained eye of a master craftsman and the touch of a skilled tradesman who knows what matters.
Together with my partner Annette – an artist and church musician with a keen sense of aesthetics and rhythm – I noticed a striking discrepancy in the quality of shoelaces available during our travels. While in Italy we admired the superior qualities of the highest-quality, waxed laces on fine footwear, local shoe shops offered almost exclusively simple, often short-lived, mass-produced items.
Inspired by the Italian dedication to detail, we decided to fill this gap. We wanted to make the exceptional quality, usually found only in the original fittings of Italian luxury shoes, available to everyone as a reliable accessory, exclusively through our direct sales channel.
We have our shoelaces manufactured where the tradition of braiding is alive and well. In a traditional braiding workshop in Tuscany and in a specialized partner factory in Poland, our shoelaces are crafted from high-quality, regionally sourced yarns.
This is OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) quality, the same quality chosen by renowned Italian luxury shoe brands for their original equipment. Only a small portion of this exclusive product reaches the open market – we make this quality accessible to you.
A LACCICO shoelace is a technical component. It must be tear-resistant yet supple. It must shine, yet hold the knot securely. Thanks to the special waxing and the dense weave, we offer a product that ages like a fine shoe: with character and grace.
We invite you to feel the difference. Because perfection begins where others stop looking – with the shoelace.
Ciao Ciao, Annette & Alexander
