See, I was browsing this stuff online (because, let’s be real, I’m not actually *buying* any Ferragamo anytime soon, unless I win the lottery, which, statistically speaking, is unlikely, but hey, a girl can dream, right?), and I saw something about this Tramezza thing. Apparently, you can like, totally customize it. Buckles, widths, the *whole shebang*. It’s all online in some Azure cloud-based app thingy. Sounds fancy.
Honestly, the whole “digital twin” visualization thing? Maybe it’s me, but it kinda feels like overkill. Like, I get it, it’s the future, and we’re all supposed to be impressed by tech, but all I really wanna do is pick the leather color and see if that gold buckle clashes, y’know?
And then there’s the whole “Made-to-Order” aspect. Which, okay, cool. But also? Expect a wait, I guess. Like, they aren’t just whipping these things up in five minutes. You’re paying for bespoke, which translates to *waiting*. I’m impatient. But, I guess, good things come to those who wait, especially when those “good things” are handcrafted Italian leather shoes that probably cost more than my rent.
I saw something about custom ties, too? At selected stores. That’s actually kinda cool. I always feel like ties are either boring or trying too hard. Being able to design your own could be a game-changer for those of us who want to look put-together without looking like we’re trying too hard.
Anyway, apparently Massimo and James Ferragamo think this is the perfect thing for the digital age. And, you know what? Maybe they’re right. I mean, we live in a world where you can order a custom-built gaming PC with RGB lighting and personalized keycaps. Why *not* shoes?
