Chie Mihara is a women’s footwear brand based in Elda, Spain, led by designer Chie Mihara and her husband, Francisco. Chie decided to create the brand in December 2001; another page on its official site dates the brand’s launch to 2002. She studied accessories at New York’s Fashion Institute of Technology and worked in an orthopedic shoe store before moving into shoe design, experiences that helped shape her attention to both appearance and fit. The shoes are recognisable for their vintage influences, unexpected colour combinations and varied heel shapes. Pumps, sandals and boots form part of a range designed to feel individual without relying on seasonal runway trends. Chie serves as creative director, while Francisco is CEO. The business describes itself as family-run. Its shoes and handbags are made locally through a family factory and studio in Elda, with much of its supply chain in the surrounding community. Customers can shop the official site, where checking the size and construction details for a specific style is useful before choosing a pair.
