LACCICO stands for quality, tradition and European craftsmanship. Our high-quality, waxed shoelaces combine elegant design with maximum functionality and durability. The name LACCICO is made up of the Italian word “LACCI” (laces) and the abbreviation “CO” (company) - the shoelace company. LACCICO is pronounced like “Latshiko” (stress on the first syllable), with the double C before the I sounding like “tsh” and the C before the O like “k”. The idea for LACCICO was born during our travels through Italy together.

As a trained shoemaker with a master's degree (obtained in 1995) and decades of experience in the shoe trade, I have been intensively involved with the subject of shoes since the late 1980s. My travels have taken me through various countries, especially Italy, where I was able to gain valuable experience in numerous shoe factories, workshops and suppliers. This expertise flows into every one of our products.

Together with my partner Annette, an artist and church musician, one of these trips gave rise to the vision of offering waxed shoelaces that meet the highest quality standards. Inspired by Italian craftsmanship and a passion for high-quality materials, we decided to make these exceptional laces available to a wider audience.

Our shoelaces are made in collaboration with a long-established “trecchificio” (weaving mill) in Tuscany and a carefully selected company in Poland. We use yarns of regional origin: yarns from Italy are used for production in Italy, and yarns from Poland are used for production in Poland. This European cooperation enables us to combine traditional craftsmanship with modern production techniques while guaranteeing the highest quality standards. On arrival in Germany, the laces are checked by me personally with an expert eye and touch before they are carefully packed and dispatched. This is original equipment manufacturer (OEM) quality, as used by renowned Italian shoe brands. Only a small proportion of these high-quality laces are sold on the open market; the majority are supplied directly to the Italian shoe industry.

We would be delighted if you like the LACCICO shoelaces.
