Emme Parsons SANDALS

Evoking the picture postcard romanticism of Lake Como and Old Hollywood film noir silhouettes, Los Angeles-based Emme Parsons reclaims practicality as beautiful with her eponymous women’s footwear label. Concerned with the frenetic nature of the fashion industry, the line’s self-described “eloquent utilitarianism” makes longevity, durability, and quality its underlying ethos. Working with family-owned Italian factories in Tuscany, Emme Parsons’ handmade pieces epitomize a laid-back and understated elegance not often seen in the inexorably erratic footwear market today. Smart and functional, Emme Parsons finds a strong foothold in the grey area between form and function, taking a firm stance in the name of restraint and pragmatism.
