In a partnership that we’re told was born out of “exceptional craftsmanship and timeless elegance” Paris-based luxury footwear brand Maison Corthay is to share space at peer Cifonelli’s London Mayfair’s Clifford Street store.
Bringing together “two legendary French Maisons”, the combination presents a wider curated selection of footwear and tailoring.
The two brands said the harmonious new setting “offers a curated luxury experience, where visitors can immerse themselves in the worlds of both,” delivering harmony between a perfectly tailored suit and a crafted pair of shoes.
It makes sense in many ways with two clearly complementary labels co-existing in a space in one of the most upscale London neighbourhoods that’s a magnet for affluent locals and tourists alike.
“This collaboration in London feels like a natural extension of our shared vision. It connects us with a clientele that values exclusivity and personalisation,” said Pierre Corthay.
Corthay founded his brand in Paris in 1990 with the aim of “defin[ing] luxury footwear by merging tradition with innovation”.
Every pair is made in France and the brand offers both bespoke, made-to-measure shoes and a curated selection of ready-to-wear men’s footwear.
Meanwhile, Cifonelli stretches back somewhat further having been founded in 1880. It’s known for its precise tailoring and signature shoulder construction.
