Fracap
Fracap is a historic Italian brand with roots stretching back to 1908, when Antonio Cappello began handcrafting durable footwear in the small town of Monteroni di Lecce in Puglia, a region long known for its artisanal shoemaking tradition. Over the decades the business has remained family-owned and operated, evolving through successive generations who expanded its craft and reputation while staying true to time-honoured artisanal techniques and local production. The name Fracap itself reflects the family heritage, combining the Italian word fratelli (“brothers”) with the Cappello surname, and the company has maintained its commitment to meticulous workmanship and Italian craftsmanship throughout its long history.
