About the Brand
Dating back to 1968 Chaussures DeLuca opened for business. Its sole proprietor, Mr. DeLuca, a shoemaker of Italian origin, specializes in crafting moccasins and San Crispino shoes (a style imported directly from Italy). He produces a limited number of very classic models in his humble workshop.
1970’s
Vincenzo Passarelli, an Italian immigrant, joins De Luca Shoes Inc. in Montreal, a brand known for specializing in moccasins, platform shoes and the traditional San Crispino method. With his technical expertise and entrepreneurial spirit, Mr. Passarelli helps catapult the company into the fashion sphere.
1980’s
Shifting the focus of the brand to the outdoor category, the first Anfibio winter collection is launched, and the first waterproof leather boot in Canada is introduced. By blending purposeful footwear with technological modernism, Anfibio hits the fashion-meets-function sweet spot. In this time, as Anfibio’s profile grows, the brand commits to producing shoes and boots in non-standardized sizes and widths, making it the only quality heritage company to offer styles up to size 19.
1990’s
The Passarelli family & partners takes full ownership of Anfibio Co. and the family members step into active leadership roles to help shape the brand.
2000’s
Anfibio Co. moves its headquarters to a location north of Montreal. The company solidifies its pledge to remain 100% Made in Canada.
2017
The company embarks on a rebrand, redefining its look and profile with a stylized logo featuring a silhouetted penguin in the centre of the letter A. It’s a conceptual yet accessible emblem that symbolizes the company’s evolution from outdoor boots to a full-fledged lifestyle footwear brand.
2018
To celebrate its 50th anniversary, Anfibio Co. opens its first flagship boutique, the Atelier Anfibio & Co boutique in the Villeray District. To this day and beyond, Anfibio remains committed to creating 100% Made in Canada footwear that honour heritage craftsmanship and technology driven excellence.
