A family tradition since 1950.

Three generations in a Ferizaj workshop.

Kosovë, Europe

This is a product Made in Kosovo, manufactured to European standards. Materials are imported from various European countries, and their selection and quality are controlled by Italian experts. Our products are not destined only for the local market — they are also sold in Europe and the USA, in markets with high demands for quality.
Behind this is a story that began in 1950 as a family shoemaking tradition, passed down through generations. After the Kosovo War, the family founded HIT SHOES in 2000, blending heritage craftsmanship with modern technology. In 2022, NALLAN AUTHENTIC LLC was established as the next chapter — a brand focused on delivering high-quality, ergonomic footwear directly to customers, inspired by the traditional artisan slipper known as Nallane. With modern production capabilities and equipment from Italy and Turkey, every pair is built for comfort, durability, and everyday wear.

The Name Nallan

A name with meaning.

A name rooted in tradition

The name Nallan is rooted in tradition. It comes from "Nallane" — an old Albanian word for a handcrafted slipper, worn for generations across the region. We dropped the final "e" to create a name that's simple, memorable, and easy to pronounce in almost any language. Look closely — it reads the same forwards and backwards. That symmetry reflects what we stand for: harmony, balance, and timeless design.
The workshop has remained in the same family for over 60 years, passing through three generations of skilled artisans. Each pair of shoes carries the weight of this heritage — from the careful selection of leather to the final polish. The tools may have evolved, but the hands that guide them remain connected to the same traditions that Hazir established in 1961.

A Protected Brand

NALLAN is a registered trademark across the EU through EUIPO, with global registration in progress via WIPO.

Designed for Everyone

Our main audience spans ages 18–65, plus children and elderly — we design for families and individuals alike.

Where We're Going

Our Commitments

Water-based finishes

Every finish we apply is water-based and non-toxic. Our workshop is ventilated naturally, and we never use solvents that harm people or the environment.

Zero leather waste

Offcuts are collected and donated to local artisans and design schools. Nothing usable goes to landfill — scraps become wallets, keychains, and student projects.
