OUR STORY
A new season, a new experience, a new affection!
Cabani was born not merely to furnish living spaces, but to accompany the moments lived within them. In every collection, we bring together aesthetics and comfort, simplicity and character. Our timeless designs reflect our respect for materials, attention to detail, and commitment to craftsmanship. We draw inspiration from nature, the city, and the rhythm of human life. While blending modern lines with a pure aesthetic, we always prioritize functionality. Because we believe true comfort is hidden in the details. At Cabani, each season is a new journey, and every collection offers a new experience. While adapting to changing trends, we continue to create long-lasting, sustainable, and meaningful designs without compromising our essence. This story grows together with everyone who loves living spaces. For us, every piece is a beginning. A part of a whole that adapts to the space it touches, lives together with the user, and gains meaning over time. At Cabani, design is not only something seen, but something felt.
Cabani’s vision is to create a world where every step inspires confidence. We aim to represent an understanding in which durability, health, and craftsmanship are indispensable, fashion is temporary, and quality is permanent. We believe that shoes are not merely products, but one of the most fundamental needs in daily life. Therefore, our vision is to produce long-term value rather than short-term solutions, and to continue our journey as a brand that chooses what is right, not what is easy. Today and in the future, Cabani aims to remain a symbol of an approach that places human health, labor, and honest production at its core.
Cabani’s mission is to produce durable, non-deforming shoes that do not harm human health. In line with this mission: We work with the finest craftsmen, We use the highest quality leather, soles, metals, and threads, We never include artificial, synthetic, or health-harming materials in our production to reduce costs. We combine the knowledge acquired from Italy—the heart of handcrafted shoemaking—with our modern production infrastructure. While introducing Rok Form and Ciucani Mocassino hand-stitching machines to Turkey, we also made the essential hand-stitching thread locally produced, ensuring sustainability. For Cabani, the mission is clear: Every day, to produce shoes that are higher quality, more durable, and healthier than the previous day. Because for us, the principle is unchanging: People first.
