Leather Blade pumps

The history of the Blade model

For years, the Blade model has represented one of the hallmarks of Casadei production, designed for those seeking a slender silhouette without sacrificing stability. The pointed toe and smooth leather upper make it a classic of the feminine wardrobe, suitable for formal and evening settings. The metal heel, in its chrome variations, is the element that has made the model recognizable even from a distance, and is offered every season in different heights and finishes.

The Casadei maison

Casadei was founded in 1958 by Quinto and Flora Casadei in San Mauro Pascoli, in the province of Forlì-Cesena, in the heart of the Romagnolo footwear district. The company established itself in the sixties and seventies as a producer of high-end footwear, with an artisanal vocation that remains central even as the brand expanded to the international market.

In the eighties and nineties, leadership passed to the second generation, which consolidated the maison's image by linking it to sculptural heel models. It was during this period that research into metal heels and slender shapes took hold, of which the Blade line is today one of its most famous expressions.
