About

The Gold Shoemaker Club is the world's first private club dedicated exclusively to One-Off bespoke footwear creations — legally registered, blockchain-certified, and co-copyrighted with the client. Founded by Antonio Vietri — Il Calzolaio d'Oro — internationally recognised World Record holder, the Club represents the highest expression of Italian artisanal mastery combined with cutting-edge authentication technology.
Every creation is conceived once, crafted exclusively for one person, and legally protected from any reproduction or reinterpretation for any other client. Forever. This is not customisation. This is identity becoming protected art.
The Club offers three membership levels — Gold, Platinum, and Diamond. The Diamond Membership is strictly by invitation or private referral from an existing Diamond member, with only 99 places available worldwide per year. Diamond members receive the full One-Off experience: the Gold Shoemaker travels to the client anywhere in the world within 72 hours — Dubai, Riyadh, New York, Shanghai, anywhere — for a private appointment in their own space. Materials include 24k gold, platinum, diamonds, rubies, emeralds, sapphires, crocodile, python, shark skin, and Shell Cordovan. Each creation requires up to 1,450 hours of handwork.
Every Diamond creation includes the Artistic Blueprint, Gold Shoemaker Seal™, Signature Gold Sole™, and Signature Gold Sole™ NFT — a complete ecosystem of physical and digital certification. A private AI designer, Alya, supports the client in visualising the creation in real time before a single material is sourced. A dedicated private concierge is available throughout the entire process. Delivery is made personally by Il Calzolaio d'Oro.
The Club also hosts The Circle — an exclusive private network of members sharing the same language of excellence, culture, and legacy — with private showcases, ultra-selective networking events, and curated encounters reserved for those who do not seek visibility, but quality of connection.
World records achieved: the world's first 24kt gold men's shoes (Dubai, 2016), Moon Stars — the most expensive shoes in the world at $19.9 million USD (Dubai, 2019), and Nouruh — the most expensive Arabian sandal ever realised, currently in preparation for Dubai November 2026.
