Kabaccha Italian Shoes are Designed with Style and Comfort in Mind

— October 27, 2016 — Fashion
Style and comfort are not traditionally two characteristics that make great bedfellows, but the Kabaccha Italian shoes aim to help change this perception. Funding a new collection on Kickstarter, Kabaccha has created an array of Italian leather shoes for men and women.

Coming in an array of styles including slip-ons and laced varieties, the Kabaccha shoes are inherently lightweight in design which makes them ideal for long-term wear. The Italian shoes are fitted with sturdy soles that are capable of being customized with colored piping to add a touch of on-trend style to the classic silhouettes.

The Kabaccha shoes can be purchased now via the brand's Kickstarter campaign at prices that are between 35% and 50% (or more) off the projected retail price.

3. Direct-to-consumer Shoe Brands - Kabaccha Italian Shoes' Kickstarter campaign demonstrates a trend of emerging direct-to-consumer shoe brands disrupting traditional retail channels by offering lower prices and exclusivity.
