Julia Toledano founded Nodaleto in 2019 to synthesize her diverse inspiration into a footwear brand that delivers luxurious and contemporary reinterpretations of classic silhouettes. After graduating from the London College of Fashion, Toledano traveled through Italy to study and observe the practice of leather footwear construction. Focused first on self-expression, and second on designing high quality product, Toledano and art director Oliver Leone look to art, interior design, tradition, and Toledano’s Spanish and Moroccan background to inform an aesthetic that is as rooted in heritage as it is in the avante-garde expression of these inspirations. Mary Janes, lace-up boots, and sandals, crafted from fine leather, invoke trends of past decades while the brand’s signature block heel gives the silhouettes bold lines ideal for everyday wear in a contemporary wardrobe.
