Founded in sunny Athens, Greece, in 2014 by a mother-daughter duo, Elina Linardaki is a luxury bespoke footwear brand that has been built from humble beginnings. The family business began with a small collection of sandals, adorned with tassels, semi-precious stones and crystals that instantly became a global sensation, establishing Elina Linardaki as a shoe designer and making the brand known for its bold, colorful embellishments.
Her intricate manufacturing techniques drawing inspiration from sources such as '70s folk, elements of our everyday lives, Moroccan motifs, XXL jewelry, kitsch and the natural Greek landscape, the designer creates one small collection a year, demonstrating her love for color, material combinations and surprising textures. With the aim of keeping traditional Greek craft practices alive while creating and sustaining artisanal jobs, the brand now celebrates craftsmanship and innovative design to create unique pieces that will be cherished and admired forever.
