Founded in 2001 by its namesake designer, Chie Mihara operates from Elda, Spain, a hub of traditional shoemaking. With a multicultural background—born in Brazil to Japanese parents, with design training in Japan and New York—Mihara established her brand to unite playful, imaginative design with serious comfort. Her experience at an orthopedic shoe store informed an anatomical approach, ensuring each shoe is built around a specialized footbed. The brand consciously avoids fleeting trends, instead drawing inspiration from vintage styles of the 1930s to the 1980s to create footwear that is both feminine and distinctive.
