My name is Enzo Cosentino. From
the young age of 11, I have been working with shoes in an extensive
way. While growing up in Argentina, after school hours would be
spent with a master artisan who's shop was located on Boyaca street
in downtown Argentina, just across from the Junior Athletic club,
where Maradona made his first greatest plays. This artisan would let
me learn his trade only if I promised to not touch a thing, yet my
curiosity was so great that I would mimic his hand movements in my
mind.
Exposure to the art of shoe
making at a very young age is how shoes became such an integral part
of my life. Late nights after school, learning and working while
still attending classes, and a passion for the art allowed me to
complete a Specialization in Model and Design at the age of 28. From
the beginning of my apprenticeship to today, 49 years of
investigation, technique and technology have passed through my
hands, making this art not only my career, but also the very soul of
who I am.
After years of success in Italy
and Argentina, under the same name (ENZO"S SHOES), I decided to
bring a small portion of my business to Hilton Head Island, SC in
order to offer my products and services to those who also believe
that quality and detail are the same word.
I am highly grateful to the
patrons of Hilton Head and Bluffton for their cordial welcome to
this city, and also to every individual client whom I have served in
the past 49 years.
I thank you and I thank God for
the wonderful opportunity given to me, to develop the art of custom
shoe making.
