Henri Lepore Dezert

Henri Lepore Dezert is a family-run luxury footwear collection grounded in exceptional materials, thoughtful construction, and the tradition of Italian shoemaking.

Henri’s appreciation for craftsmanship began in his family’s custom upholstery business in Los Angeles, where he developed an early eye for fine textiles and form. After working in New York with his cousin, designer Nanette Lepore, he turned his attention to footwear and later studied traditional shoemaking under Venetian master Rolando Segalin.

Launched in 2014, Henri Lepore Dezert shoes are handcrafted in Milan using exceptional European leathers and generations of Italian shoemaking expertise. The result is sophisticated, distinctive footwear designed with equal attention to beauty, structure, and longevity.
