Founded by Robert Clergerie in 1981, the French footwear brand is rooted in the shoemaking tradition of Romans-sur-Isère. With a background that drew from architecture and design, Clergerie established a signature style defined by architectural forms, a blend of masculine and feminine codes, and innovative uses of materials. The house is celebrated for pioneering designs like women's lace-up oxfords, the parallelogram heel, and the artisanal use of hand-woven raffia, a brand staple. Craftsmanship is central to the brand's identity, with its French workshop mastering techniques like the Goodyear welt to ensure quality and comfort.
