Marche in Italy is a world-renowned shoe-making region.

In August 2017, the last major brand representing Marche arrived in Japan.

"This is a collection called Flex, which we created from scratch specifically for Isetan. As the name suggests, it features an exceptionally flexible and responsive construction.

As Emanuele Fabi, the men's designer and head of marketing, says, the collection, finished using Fabi's signature Bolognese construction method, embodies an even softer feel thanks to the use of high-quality leather.
