carel paris

Founded in Paris in 1952 by Georges and Rosa Carel, the brand was established to offer women an elegant and comfortable alternative to the era's towering stilettos. Rooted in the creative energy of the Sorbonne district, Carel quickly became known for its signature "trotter" heel, a practical low block heel designed for the modern, active woman. The brand’s core designs feature a playful, sixties-inspired style, most famously embodied by its Mary Jane shoes, such as the iconic three-strap Kina, which was created in 2014 and became a cult favorite, championed by influencers like Alexa Chung.
