Malone Souliers
UK · Est. 2014 · Luxury
Malone Souliers is a British luxury shoe brand founded in London in 2014 by Mary Alice Malone and Roy Luwolt. Malone trained in footwear design at the London College of Fashion before working with Italian artisans to develop the first collection. The brand combines shoemaking with bold curves and modern proportions.
Malone Souliers women’s shoes include mules, pumps, sandals, flats, boots, platforms, and bridal styles. Its best-known design is the Maureen, a curved mule with two straps, introduced in 2015. The collection also includes men’s shoes and handbags. Distinctive lines, pointed toes, decorative straps, satin, leather, prints, and strong colors appear throughout the range.
The footwear is made by skilled Italian craftspeople using carefully selected materials. Fit and comfort are considered alongside shape and visual impact. Malone Souliers also works on entertainment collaborations that reinterpret its signature designs. For shoppers searching for luxury British designer shoes, Malone Souliers offers Italian-made footwear with recognizable silhouettes, refined construction, and statement details. Its shoes are suited to weddings, evening events, formal clothing, and customers who want classic styles with a more expressive finish.
Souliers Martinez
France · Est. 2017 · Luxury
Julien Martinez launched Souliers Martinez in Paris in 2017, drawing heavily on his Spanish heritage. A visit to an Alicante workshop introduced him to hand-braided leather, which became a defining feature of the label. The shoes combine that visible craft with shaped heels, pointed or softly squared toes and colours that give classic silhouettes a distinctive finish.
The women’s range includes woven sandals, pumps, flats and boots, alongside mesh, raffia and occasion styles. According to the brand’s history, its original leather designs were assembled and finished in Spain. Current material guides also identify production in Portugal and Italy for particular categories, so the manufacturing country is specific to the shoe rather than the label as a whole.
Souliers Martinez sells through its own online shop and stockists. Its general European size chart covers EU 35–41. Fit advice varies by construction: some styles recommend sizing up between sizes, while others recommend sizing down.
Mariano Shoes
Portugal · Est. 1945 · Mid-range
Mariano Shoes began in 1945 when shoemaker Mariano de Jesus Gomes started producing footwear under the Mariano name in São João da Madeira, Portugal. The company now operates in nearby Oliveira de Azeméis and continues to describe its shoes as handmade, from the first leather cut through the final polish.
Its current shop covers men’s and women’s footwear, including loafers, sneakers, boots and more formal shoes. Some men’s designs have special-size options, which are worth checking if a standard size range has been limiting. The brand sells directly online and provides product-specific size and availability information for its different collections.
Mariano says its footwear can be restored, extending the useful life of a pair. It also reports using recycled-material packaging. Those are more specific points to consider than a general sustainability label, while the materials and construction of a particular shoe should be checked on its listing.
