Jacques Solovière is heritage artisanal shoemaking with a whole new look. Founder Alexia Aubert named the label after her grandfather, a man whose sharp sense of style extended to the privacy of his own living room. Tailored indoor suits and elegant slippers were considered entirely appropriate attire for a quiet afternoon at home, and Jacques Solovière footwear was created as an earnest tribute to just that.
Founded in 2014, while luxury footwear was getting louder, bulkier and increasingly logo-driven, Jacques Solovière chose a different path. The ambition was not to create the next big thing, but the next classic. Put simply, the maison wants to make the wearer feel good when they walk in their shoes. Conceived in Paris, perfected in Italy and produced in family-owned factories in Portugal, each pair reflects European vision and savoir-faire.
Jacques Solovière footwear sits between minimalist sneakers and welted leather shoes, defined by seamless uppers, one-piece leather constructions and meticulous piping.
