Even as a young cobbler’s apprentice, Franco Sarto knew he was destined to design shoes. In his early 20s, he opened up a fashion studio in Italy, where he would one day launch his own line of women’s shoes. Today, Franco Sarto’s design company offers stylish women’s shoes made from leather, suede, and other fine materials. The Sarto collection includes elegant heels, flats, boots, and sandals.
