Haute Miami Fashion Staple: Capretto Shoes

Chic boutique, Capretto Shoes, is located in the heart of South Miami and is an incredible one-stop-shop for your favorite luxury shoes and handbags from brands like Alexander Wang, Chloe, Valentino, and Balmain. An unparalleled selection of designer merchandise fills the 2,600 square foot boutique, making it a fashion aficionado’s dream. Capretto’s ‘philophilosophy is simple: we create collections that can only be found at Capretto and maintain a point of difference for our clients. Because we are independent, we are able to detail key elements of our merchandise in ways you won’t find at the department stores.’

Capretto has been a fashion staple in Miami since 1983, and is one of the few independent specialty stores left in the country. Although historic, Capretto has set itself apart by always managing to stay fashion forward and up-to-date with the latest high-end styles and designers. Capretto’s head buyer, Jason Salstein, also recognizes the value that comes with modern social media marketing and branding. Capretto’s incredible collection is no longer contained within its four historic walls, but rather accessible by all fashion fanatics worldwide.

Salstein has invested his efforts into social media – in turn, expanding Capretto’s market exponentially. Capretto’s Instagram account has amassed almost 27K followers, more than 10 times the amount they had 2 years ago. With this online presence, Capretto has been able to expand its clientele from lucky Miami fashionistas, to fashionistas around the globe which has done wonders for the store’s sales and success. Just recently, the boutique sold out of Gianvito Rossi’s “Janis” Sandal in just two days after posting the sandals to social media. Salstein says, “It’s about being fun and having the audience feel as if they are in the store or on the buying trips with us.”
