OCTOBER 2026 ARRIVALS · MADE IN ITALY · BY MIKE LOPRIORE
New for October 2026 at Michele Lopriore: the India Low Heel Pump ($325), the Carolina Stiletto Booties ($475), the Bellevenue Block Heel Pump ($350) and the Serene Mini croco-suede bag ($265). All four were finished in our Milan atelier in September and are handmade in Italy.
There is always something beautiful to discover at Michele Lopriore. This month it is the first boots and heels of the season, plus a mini bag I have been carrying prototypes of since July. Everything here was finished in Milan in September and photographed the week it landed in Miami.
Here is what is new, and what each piece is for.
India Low Heel Pump
The India is the pump for women who do not want to think about their heel height at 6pm. A 4 cm stacked block, an almond toe, and a two-tone upper that pairs suede with patent leather on the heel counter. It is new this fall in suede black with patent black, alongside the blue, nude and leather black we introduced last year.

Carolina Stiletto Booties
The Carolina is the sharpest shoe in the collection: a pointed toe, a sculpted 8.5 cm stiletto, and a shaft cut to sit just above the ankle. In suede brown it is the boot for a camel coat; in leather black it is the boot for everything else. This is the one Giada sold out of first in Milan.

Bellevenue Block Heel Pump
The Bellevenue is the pump I designed for the office: a clean almond toe, a low-cut vamp, and a stacked block heel that is stable on marble floors. The suede green is the color of the season; the suede brown is the one you will wear more.

Serene Mini
The Serene Mini is a curved hobo in croco-embossed suede with calf-leather trim and a gold twist-lock on a slim tab. It is 24 x 20 x 10 cm, which fits a phone, cards, keys and not much else, which is the point. Six colors; the croco military and croco black are the two new ones.

Why We Release in October
We do not drop a whole collection in August the way the big houses do. The Milan atelier, where my father opened his first workshop in 1986, makes shoes in small runs, and the boots and heels take longest because of the lasts. So the first fall boots arrive in October, the knee-highs in November, and the evening shoes in December. Each pair is hand-cut from Tuscan leather, Blake-stitched, and touched by hand at least seven times. If a size is missing, it is because it is still on the bench.

Quick Answers
What are the new Michele Lopriore arrivals for October 2026?
Four pieces landed in October 2026: the India Low Heel Pump ($325), the Carolina Stiletto Booties ($475), the Bellevenue Block Heel Pump ($350) and the Serene Mini bag ($265). All are handmade in Italy.
Is the India Low Heel Pump comfortable for all day?
Yes. The heel is a 4 cm stacked block, the toe is almond rather than pointed, and the insole is cushioned leather. It is the pump I recommend to clients who stand at work.
How high is the heel on the Carolina Stiletto Booties?
About 8.5 cm. The shaft is cut to sit just above the ankle bone, which makes it easier to walk in than a knee-high stiletto boot.
What is the Serene Mini bag made of?
Croco-embossed Italian suede with smooth calf-leather trim and a polished gold twist-lock. It measures 24 x 20 x 10 cm (9.4 x 7.9 x 3.9 in) and comes in six colors.
Are the new arrivals available in half sizes?
The India and Carolina run IT 35 to 41 (US 5 to 11) in whole sizes. If you are between sizes, size up half; Italian suede molds to the foot within a few wears.
Do new arrivals ship free?
Yes. US orders over $150 ship free, and returns are free within 30 days.
