Founded in 2012 by Christina Martini, a former footwear designer for Balenciaga and Louis Vuitton, and Nikolas Minoglou, who brought experience from his family’s shoe business, Ancient Greek Sandals was born from a desire to elevate the traditional Greek sandal. The brand is deeply rooted in Hellenic culture, drawing inspiration from ancient mythology, pottery, and sculpture. Each pair is handcrafted in Greece by skilled artisans using centuries-old techniques, resulting in a raw yet feminine design. The brand’s signature mark is a subtle golden wing buckle, a nod to the myth of the flying sandals made for the god Hermes.
