Few shoes combine heritage and versatility quite like the Mary Jane. Once reserved for schoolgirl uniforms and retro nostalgia, this iconic silhouette has reemerged as a symbol of effortless sophistication—especially when reimagined through the Friulane tradition.

At Mar Soreli, our Mary Jane Friulane shoes take everything you love about the classic style—a rounded toe, a secure strap, and timeless charm—and blend it with Italian craftsmanship, recycled materials, and fashion-forward design.

A Signature Style, Reinvented

Rooted in Friuli Venezia Giulia, our Mary Jane Friulane flats are handmade using time-honored techniques and luxurious fabrics like silk velvet and organic cotton. Each pair features:

  • A closed, low-cut silhouette for everyday wearability
  • An adjustable strap with a delicate buckle for a secure, personalized fit
  • A flexible, recycled rubber sole that feels as good as it looks
  • Tone-on-tone or contrast piping and elegant stitching

Whether you're dressing for work, a weekend getaway, or a night out, these flats elevate your style with minimal effort.

Comfortable All Day, Chic Every Time

Our customers often say: "I forget I’m wearing flats. They feel custom-made."

Mary Jane Friulane shoes are:

  • Lightweight and breathable — ideal for long city days or travel
  • Supportive with just enough structure
  • Seasonless — perfect with bare feet in spring or paired with tights in winter

They're an elegant alternative to sneakers and heels alike.

Effortless Styling, Day to Night

From casual denim to cocktail-ready looks, these flats adapt with ease:

  • Pair with tailored trousers and a silk blouse for a modern office edit
  • Dress up wide-leg pants and a blazer for a gallery opening
  • Style with a floral midi dress or a long coat for Sunday brunch
  • Slip on with jeans and a cardigan for errands, strolls, or flights

Velvet pairs add a touch of quiet luxury, while bolder tones and contrast piping offer personality and flair.
