A Travel Insider's View Of Business In Italy Right Now

Luxe designer Sarah Flint is the "Queen Of Comfortable Shoes," and is frequently termed "The Shoe Whisperer" for her Italian footwear that is engineered to be super-comfortable. (Yes, even stilettos and pumps, which are a huge hit with celebrities and travel-goers. ) Ms. Flint granted me an interview two weeks ago, to tell me all about her frequent high-end travels to Italy, where her company has factories. But in light of the current pandemic, she followed up with me about the status of manufacturing in Italy right now, and the state of her luxury shoe business, in this exclusive interview for Forbes.com. At a later time I will published my original travel-inspired story, in which Ms. Flint tells me all about her love of Relais & Chateaux properties, and Emirates Air.  To provide context, Ms. Flint  has gained media attention as one of Forbes' "30 Under 30" and WWD's "Ten of Tomorrow." Among her most well-known friends and supporters are such inspiring women (and frequent travelers) as Meghan Markle, Amal Clooney, Serena Williams, Lady Gaga, Jane Fonda, Karlie Kloss,  and Gayle King.

Furthermore, when you purchase a pair of Sarah Flint shoes, each box comes with a personalized, handwritten note from the artisan in Italy who crafted the shoes — to bring you all a superb little slice of Italy at home. Now. doesn't that making being quarantined just a little bit better for travelers?
