The Pli-Pla Frulline: Reimagined Tradition, Contemporary Femininity
The Frulline was born from an original idea by Pli-Pla Calzature: combining two icons of European tradition—the Friulane and the ballerina—in a single shoe capable of conveying history, craftsmanship, and contemporary style.
We've retained the platform of our famous Friulane, with their unmistakable non-slip rubber sole reminiscent of the old bicycle tires used by Venetian farmers in the 19th century. A durable, flexible, and silent sole, a symbol of a humble yet ingenious tradition.
To this historic foundation, we've added an upper shaped like a typical Spanish ballerina, more slender and feminine, creating a shoe that effortlessly blends comfort and grace.
The result?
A lightweight, elegant, and incredibly versatile shoe. Perfect for the city, ideal for leisure, and refined even in more sophisticated settings.
Lombard craftsmanship, Italian soul
The Frulline are handcrafted in Lombardy, with the same care and attention that distinguishes the Pli-Pla Friulane. Each pair is the result of hand-me-down expertise, precision stitching, and select materials.
Like the original Friulane, the Frulline maintain:
- lightness
- quietness
- flexibility
- immediate comfort
But with a more feminine and enveloping line.
A unique shoe, born from a Pli-Pla intuition
The Frulline are not a reinterpretation.
They are an exclusive Pli-Pla creation, designed for those who love tradition but are looking for something different.
A small symbol of Italian identity, style, and craftsmanship.
Features:
- Soft suede upper
- Non-slip rubber sole reminiscent of bicycle tires
- Slip-on fit
- Adjustable laces
- Made in Italy
Why do we love them?
Because they combine the authentic comfort of "friulane" slippers with the femininity of ballet flats. They are lightweight, flexible, and handcrafted in Italy, born from a Pli-Pla idea. Tradition and personality, in a single shoe.

Here is how:
- use a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove dirt and dust;
- for more stubborn stains, apply a mild detergent specifically for leather;
- dry by patting, without rubbing;
- to nourish the leather, you can use a neutral cream or a leather balm;
- avoid excess water, immersion, and drying near heat sources.
