“May I introduce myself: Ena Ringli. I am crazy about shoes. This weakness for beautiful shoes has been with me since childhood – inherited from my Italian nonna. In yép, my small Swiss shoe manufactory, Swiss quality meets Italian "stravaganza". After my Matura I began an apprenticeship as a shoemaker and completed my training in the German shoe town of Pirmasens as a graduate engineer in shoe and leather technology. I lived and worked for several years in Italy and China as production manager of a made-to-measure shoe company. This was followed by further years abroad with renowned European shoe producers. Today my experience and passion flow into my own shoe collection from yép.”
