We’re proud to introduce Linea Forte, a bold new direction in men’s footwear — just landed at Merchant 1948.

Translated from Italian, Linea Forte means “Strong Line” — a name that reflects both the confidence in the design and the enduring quality in every pair. It’s a collection defined by structure, style, and strength — where Italian-inspired silhouettes meet the softest leathers and the precision of fine craftsmanship.

This season, we’ve focused on elevated loafers and statement boots — designed to move with ease between the tailored and the relaxed. Every piece is refined but effortless, created for the man who appreciates the strength of subtlety and the luxury of detail.
