Bruno Magli (1936 - Present)

After learning the art of shoe-making from their father and grandfather, Bruno Magli and his siblings Marino and Maria began crafting their own collection of women's shoes in 1936. Setting up a workshop in their family’s basement in Bologna, Italy, Bruno designed every shoe while Maria sewed the uppers and Marino crafted the soles. In 1947, the first Bruno Magli factory was built and the siblings began producing collections of both men’s and women's handmade footwear with 30 people handling each pair of shoes during the course of production. Throughout the 1980s, the Bruno Magli Company developed an expansive retail network that included over 40 international franchises. In 1996, sales in the U.S. skyrocketed, growing by more than 50%, due to the brand's role in the O.J. Simpson murder trial, in which sets of bloody footprints from a pair of Simpson’s loafers took center stage as evidence. The company retains a dedication to its history of handcrafted, classically styled yet comfortable shoes—its designs are sometimes likened to architecture—and boasts several products on display at New York's Museum of Modern Art.

Size and Measurements

We suggest taking your own bust, waist and hip measurements since vintage garments tend to be more fitted and it is often the best way to determine proper fit. Measure around the fullest area of your bust and hips and narrowest part of your waist while wearing minimal undergarments. Most of our pieces are measured flat and it can be helpful to take a garment with a similar cut and style that fits you well and compare some measurements, for example when considering coats that need room for layering or a-line shift dresses that are meant to fit snugly over the bust and flare out from the waist and hip. Lay the garment out on a flat, even surface with all zippers and buttons closed and extend the tape in as straight a line as possible for each measurement listed below.

Bust: across chest from one underarm seam to other, double
Waist: across narrowest area from one side seam to other, double
Hip: across hip area (7-9” below waist) from one side seam to other, double
Shoulder: across upper back of garment from point where shoulder seam meets armhole seam from one side to the other
Sleeve: from top of armhole/shoulder seam to sleeve edge
Arm: from one side of neckline edge, over shoulder line, down to hem edge
Length: down middle of back from neck edge to bottom hem or from middle point of left or right shoulder seam, over bust, to bottom hem if garment has a low neckline
Bodice Length: from middle of either shoulder seam, over bust, to waist seam
Skirt Length: from top of waistband to bottom seamline
Inseam: from center of crotch along inner seam of one leg to hem
