Product Description

Giuseppe Sagripanti starts a small shoemaking workshop in Montecosaro. He creates the first “Conchita” slippers, made for maximum comfort thanks to vulcanization, a heat-treatment procedure that renders rubber more elastic and resistant.

During this period, Nazzareno Sagripanti joins the firm with his brother Marino and for a brief period, he develops a children’s footwear line. New technologies and quality advances lead to steady growth; the first purchase orders arrive from abroad, from Sweden.

The firm’s steady growth makes it necessary to locate all production facilities under one roof. Manas name is born, an acronym formed by the initials of Giuseppe’s three sons, Marino, Nazzareno and Angelo Sagripanti. The company’s new manufacturing and administrative headquarter is built and a new women’s footwear line is created, an initiative that will prove decisive for the firm.
