Italian Made.
New York Raised.
For the Untamed.
Luxury Italian footwear inspired by Southern Italian ritual, feminine liberation, and cultural reclamation.
Crafted in Italy. Rooted in lineage.
Created for women who understand that erotic power is life force. The force beneath leadership, artistry, desire, vision, creation, and becoming. A force women have carried across generations and reclaimed as birthright in every era.
Tarantate is fashion that funds liberation.
Tarantate creates ritual footwear for women stepping more fully into identity, expression, authorship, sensual intelligence, and power.
Inspired by Southern Italian Tarantism traditions and shaped through the lens of the Southern Italian and Sicilian immigrant diaspora, Tarantate transforms centuries old craftsmanship into modern luxury objects designed to awaken presence.
Every design begins with a story. Each shoe exists at the intersection of embodied ritual, rebellion, erotic power, and cultural reclamation.
Some are inspired by real women. Some by Southern Italian lineage.
Some by archetypes carried across generations and reimagined through the modern world.
A sharp stiletto. A commanding combat boot. A street shoe built for movement.
All who wear Tarantate become part of a community who have a shared language of identity, embodiment, and authorship.
Tarantate creates footwear for the many ways women move through the world, carrying lineage, culture, desire, and becoming across generations.
Tarantate is committed
to sustainable luxury.
Each pair is crafted on demand.
No overproduction. No wasted inventory. Every pair crafted with intention. Longer ship times support slower fashion and reduced environmental impact.
Luxury worth waiting for is part of a slower, more conscious relationship with fashion.
