Carlo Pazolini (CLOSED)

Since launching in Italy in 1990, this once family-owned and -operated footwear company has grown into an international corporation. After establishing 150 retail stores throughout Europe, the label has now crossed the pond to open its first stateside store in NYC. The colorful 4,250-square-foot shop stocks two different house-brand collections for both men and women: the sleek Carlo Pazolini line ($160–$600) and the higher-end Carlo Pazolini Couture ($250–$750). Slip your tootsies into ladies’ leather ankle booties ($190–$500) and trendy fur-covered heels ($500–$600), or guys’ lace-up oxfords ($190–$400).
