Famous for its floral and geometric patterns, it is considered a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage and a symbol of elegance and ritual throughout the East.\u003cbr\u003eFrom this inspiration was born the idea of merging Friulian and Asian cultures, creating Friulane shoes handmade in Italy with original Batik fabrics sourced from distant Eastern markets. The result is a timeless, limited-edition shoe: comfortable, refined, and unique in every detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInspiration: Raja Ampat, where the ocean explodes with color\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring a trip to far eastern Indonesia, we ventured to Raja Ampat, a remote archipelago off the coast of West Papua, considered one of the world's most extraordinary natural paradises. Here, nature remains pristine, and the sea harbors unparalleled biodiversity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRaja Ampat is located in the heart of the Coral Triangle, the planet's richest marine area, and is one of the world's most sought-after diving destinations. Beneath the surface, a surprising universe unfolds: gardens of hard and soft corals that extend as far as the eye can see, including spectacular Acropora, branching corals, and soft Dendronephthya, renowned for their intense hues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmong these formations are incredible shades of red, purple, and magenta, vivid and deep colors that shift with the currents and create unique underwater landscapes. This ecosystem is home to some of the ocean's most fascinating creatures: majestic manta rays, reef sharks, sea turtles, schools of barracuda, and an infinite variety of tropical fish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is from this visual richness—from these natural and vibrant contrasts—that the inspiration for this model comes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Friulane Batik Raja Ampat reinterprets these colors in a contemporary key: handcrafted women's Friulane shoes made in Italy, lightweight, comfortable, and designed to accompany everyday life with a distinctive style. The color of the fabric recalls the purple and red hues of tropical coral, creating a balance between intensity and harmony, and the texture recalls the shapes of coral underwater.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA shoe that combines tradition and distant inspirations, perfect for those who love a style rich in personality yet natural, capable of evoking remote and extraordinary places.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA tribute to the pure and pristine beauty of Raja Ampat, where every color is vibrant and every detail tells a story—just like our Friulane shoes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePurple silk upper with gold and red Batik inserts*\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eOriginal fabric from Indonesia\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eSlip-resistant rubber sole\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eHand-stitched artisanal stitching\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eMade in Italy with care and passion\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eBreathable cotton lining\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*Each pair is unique: the pattern may vary slightly, like every story it tells.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e✨ \u003cstrong\u003eLimited Edition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis model is available in limited quantities: a special version designed for those seeking something unique and hard to find.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"B\u0026B","offers":[{"title":"35","offer_id":56900759323001,"sku":null,"price":59.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"36","offer_id":56900759355769,"sku":null,"price":59.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"37","offer_id":56900759388537,"sku":null,"price":59.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"38","offer_id":56900759421305,"sku":null,"price":59.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"39","offer_id":56900759454073,"sku":null,"price":59.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"40","offer_id":56900759486841,"sku":null,"price":59.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"41","offer_id":56900759519609,"sku":null,"price":59.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0947\/6777\/6121\/files\/friulanebatikrajaampatviolarossoeoro-2.jpg?v=1774432294","url":"https:\/\/www.calzatureplipla.it\/en\/products\/friulane-batik-raja-ampat-le-friulane-d-oriente-pli-pla","provider":"Calzature Pli-Pla","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
