Name and crest
The first pairs are released under the Cherini name. The crest follows: a lion and a unicorn holding the AC shield.
Fermo DerbyChapter 03 · 2016
The Fermo Derby
A warm cap-toe derby becomes the signature model — formal enough for the office, warm enough for winter streets.
Ammortizzo heelChapter 04 · 2018
ComfortForma
The last is redesigned and the Ammortizzo heel insert is introduced. A classic shape outside, a softer step inside.
Urbino Oxford, 2026Chapter 05 · 2026
The collection today
Two models in two colours: the Fermo Derby and the Urbino Oxford. We keep refining lasts, leather and comfort.
The idea has not changed.
Signature model
The signature derby — formal outside, warm and soft inside.
