Drogheria Crivellini was established in Udine, in the Italian region on Friuli, after the Second World War. It was a typical family business of an Italian nation willing to start a new life of hope and trust in the future. The drogheria was a general store, offering a multitude of goods for personal and household care : among these products, were the Furlane shoes. The simple footwear , made by country people to provide foot protection to the family members, was made with discarded material available at home: from old fabrics used to make the shoes uppers, to recycled bicycle tyres that provided durable outer soles. Decades later, Roberto Crivellini relaunched the DROGHERIA concept, wishing to pay tribute to his family history and promote the Furlane shoes, as a good example of a local craft, born out of necessity, combining elements of Italian culture and ingenuity, goodness and beauty, and bring it into contemporaneity.
