Founded in 2015 by Parsons graduates Shilpa Iyengar and Harmony Richards, Alterre is a New York-based footwear brand redefining versatility through modular design. Born from a desire to combine comfort with style, the brand’s signature innovation is its interchangeable strap system, allowing wearers to transform a single pair of shoes—from mules to sandals—by swapping detachable uppers. This "two-in-one" approach caters to the modern, travel-ready woman, reducing wardrobe clutter without sacrificing aesthetic variety.
