A new kind of luxury footwear house

Beautiful shoes.
Made for more women.

Luxury women's footwear, thoughtfully designed for different sizes, widths and proportions. Because beautiful shoes should never require compromise.

Meet the founders

We started with
our own feet.

Carmine Linden began with two sisters and a shared frustration: we both loved beautiful shoes, but rarely found ones that truly fit.

We knew we weren't alone. So we set out to create the footwear house we wished already existed! Beautiful design and considered proportions belong together.

Kristine Skulme

“I've always believed beautiful shoes should be a joy, not a compromise.”

Eva Clarkson

“Different feet. Same desire for beautiful shoes.”

A different approach to footwear

More than a size.
A better understanding of fit.

We design with different sizes, widths and proportions in mind! From narrow to extra wide feet, and a considered calf fit for boots. Because the right fit should never mean settling for a shoe you don't love.

Wider size range

Designed for more women, beyond standard sizing.

Multiple widths

Narrow, standard, wide and extra wide options.

Considered proportions

Designed around real feet, not just length.

Calf fit options

Thoughtfully designed for different calf circumferences.

Our philosophy

Designed to be desired. Engineered to be worn.

Beauty

Elegant, timeless designs that women genuinely want to wear.

Considered fit

Thoughtful design for different sizes, widths and proportions.

Lasting value

Our ambition is footwear that is made to be worn, and made to be kept.

The first collection

Premium ballet flats, in development.

Our debut collection is still taking shape. Every last, leather and detail considered against the proportions we've heard matter most to you. Nothing shown here is a finished product; it's a glimpse of the process.
