ABOUT
For When One Version of You Isn’t Enough.
Farrago is a world for people who refuse to be just one thing.
You change your mind. Your mood shifts. The way you dress should move with you, not hold you in one place.
At its core, Farrago is about shoes that do more. Some transform, designed with interchangeable accessories to be worn more than one way, changing as you do. Others stay the same, the pairs you reach for without thinking, the ones that carry you through every version of yourself.
These are staple pieces you invest in. Not because they’re occasional, but because they’re constant. Worn properly, relied on, and returned to again and again.
In our world, quality isn’t a feature. It’s a given. From how each pair is made to where the leather comes from, everything is done properly. We use Leather Working Group-certified tanneries, because anything less wouldn’t belong here.
Matthew, our founder.
Matthew Farrago, an alumnus of Cordwainers, London College of Fashion, is the winner of the Cordwainers Prize for Sustainability and the prestigious Jimmy Choo Dato’ Award, and has been recognised as one of the British Footwear Association’s 'Footwear50'.
“Your mood changes. Your plans change. You can be multiple versions of yourself in a single day, and I wanted to create something that could keep up with that.
I wanted to create a world where you don’t have to settle into just one version of yourself. A world that celebrates multifaceted people, and the shoes that carry them through every version of themselves, with confidence.
Many of Farrago’s shoes transform, designed with interchangeable accessories so one pair can become many. The idea came from occasion shoes, styles that look incredible but only really work one way. I wanted to push that further, to design something that could change with you without losing its impact.
Everything is made in Portugal, with a focus on quality and attention to detail, using materials chosen to be worn properly and to last.
I chose the name Farrago because it means a mixture. Lots of different elements coming together. Not just in design, but in people. No one has just one side to themselves, and the shoes reflect that.
I create statement shoes that move with you, whatever version of yourself you’re in.”
