## Brand Identity
Le Orsine is a Milan-based footwear and accessories brand founded in 2019. The name evokes the playful, bear-like warmth of the brand. Le Orsine specializes in Friulane — traditional Venetian velvet slippers that originated in the Friuli Venezia Giulia region of northeastern Italy. Historically worn by gondoliers in Venice, Friulane are characterized by their soft velvet uppers and flexible rubber soles (traditionally made from recycled bicycle tires).
Le Orsine modernizes this centuries-old tradition with contemporary colors, prints, and silhouettes while preserving the artisanal handcrafting process. Each pair is made by skilled craftsmen in Friuli, Italy.
