Seiichi Yoshimoto is the bespoke shoemaker behind Perticone, based in Rome, Italy. Originally from Japan, Yoshimoto moved to Italy at age 26 to study shoemaking under master craftsmen at legendary workshops including Petrocchi, Marini, Mercurio in Rome, and Mannina in Florence—before honing his craft further at George Cleverley in London. In 2017, he launched Perticone to fuse the expressive elegance of Italian design with the structured durability of British shoemaking. In 2019, he was awarded the Gold Medal at the Internationaler Leistungswettbewerb des Schuhmacherhandwerks, affirming his place among the world’s finest artisans.
