ALODD by Aldo Lipari Steps Out in Singapore
In this article (5)
ALODD by Aldo Lipari is a new Singapore-based label to step out into the retail scene in Singapore.
The footwear brand is founded by Aldo Lipari, who brings his wealth of experience as the former CEO of Bally Southeast Asia / Oceania, drawing on his know-how on the market and what consumers want, in setting up his own venture.
A resident of Singapore for the past six years, Lipari first relocated to the city-state to run Bally’s operations in the region, serving as the Swiss luxury brand’s CEO of Southeast Asia and Oceania from 2009 to 2014
I’m very much at home in the Asia Pacific / Southeast Asia region and have a strong understanding of what the customer here wants, what the climate and lifestyle require. But I’m also Italian, with an immense appreciation for quality and craftsmanship,” explains Aldo.
The flagship store for ALODD by Aldo Lipari opens in the newly-opened annex of The Centrepoint on Orchard Road, and sits opposite the popular Ministry of Food and soon-to-be opened, Din Tai Fung.
Our beautifully designed shoes are handmade in Italy to the absolute highest standards,”
“By eliminating many of the unnecessary overheads that major brands are subject to, we’re able to deliver a product that presents far greater value than what you’d find on the shelves at most ‘luxury’ boutiques.”
ALODD’s footwear is exquisitely crafted by Italian artisans, utilising time honoured, traditional shoemaking techniques.
The ALODD range is priced from $397 to $496, and staples for the working man include classic loafers, lace-ups and slip-ons, to a Derby, Oxford and Double Monkstrap.
For the weekend, driver moccasins, suede loafer and the woven loafer make excellent choices.
Lastly the label’s unique Comfort Line which is a hybrid of sneaker meets Italian footwear, features the California construction.
Although its name suggests American origins, the ‘California’ technique of shoe construction actually originated in Italy.
As is the case with all of ALODD’s footwear, Comfort Line shoemaking is carried out entirely in Italy, by skilled Italian craftsmen.
