Le Monde Beryl was founded in 2016 by Lily Atherton Hanbury and Katya Shyfrin, two friends who met in the art world with shared backgrounds in gemology. The brand began with the idea of creating a chic, versatile flat that could transition from day to evening, leading to their signature reinterpretation of the traditional Venetian gondolier’s slipper. This core design is celebrated for its elegant simplicity and is now complemented by a range of styles including Mary Janes, mules, and boots. Each pair is handmade in Italy by master artisans, reflecting a commitment to heritage craft and exceptional quality. The brand’s name references the beryl family of gemstones, which inspires the rich color palette seen across collections of velvet, suede, and supple leather.
