Celebrating Female-Owned Brands
To celebrate International Women's Day, there's no better time to kick off our shoes and applaud the incredible achievements of female-owned brands in the footwear industry.
With each step, we honour the creativity, resilience, and innovation of these female-owned brands, whose dedication to quality and style knows no bounds.
Arizona Love – Leslie Halfon
Arizona Love is a contemporary footwear brand known for its signature Trekky sandals featuring colourful bandana straps. Founded by designer Leslie Halfon, her aim was to create a brand which offered comfort and fashion. With doing so, she created a playful and adventurous take on outdoor-inspired sandals by taking inspiration from the spirit and local mythology of the Grand Canyon.
Coach – Lillian Cahn
Coach is an American luxury fashion brand renowned for its leather goods, including handbags, accessories, and footwear. Established in 1941 by husband and wife, Lillian and Miles Cahn, Coach became the Original American House of Leather.
Kate Spade New York – Kate Spade
Kate Spade New York is a fashion and lifestyle brand celebrated for its playful and feminine designs. Founded by Kate Spade in 1993, Spade put her knowledge and interest in accessories to work and opened a small boutique in the SoHo neighbourhood of Manhattan soon after.
See by Chloé - Gaby Aghion
See by Chloé is the youthful and contemporary diffusion line of the iconic French fashion house Chloe, launched in 2001 by Gaby Aghion. Aghion rejected the stiff formality of 1950s fashion and decided to create a line of off the rack, high quality, soft, body conscious clothes from fine fabrics. She called this the 'luxury pret-a-porter' and thus, the Pret-a-Porter (Ready-To-Wear) market we know today, was born.
Vivienne Westwood
Vivienne Westwood was a British fashion designer renowned for her ground-breaking designs and avant-garde approach to fashion. With a career spanning over four decades, Westwood's eponymous brand offers a range of footwear styles that challenge conventions and celebrate individuality.
Tory Burch
Having worked for the likes of Ralph Lauren and Vera Wang, Tory Burch opened the first boutique in 2004. Celebrated for its preppy and polished aesthetic, the brand offers a range of footwear styles, from ballet flats to sandals, characterised by neutral colourways, classic silhouettes, and feminine details.
