These soft leather pieces will accompany you on your fulfilling life journeys—no need to compromise on style OR comfort.
Hi, I'm Lisa
I moved back to the US in 2020 after two years of "nomading" across Latin America, my memories (and suitcases) full of colorful prints from Rio de Janeiro, hand-woven bags from Medellin, Pima cotton scarves from Cusco, leather accessories from Mexico City…
With all these beauties in the back of my mind, I realized that finding good quality, stylish, comfortable, and affordable women's shoes in the US is practically impossible!
I knew such things existed because while growing up in Brussels I'd hunt down beautiful Greek leather flats and French-style sandals to wear while wandering all across Europe.
Now that I was settling down in sunny Miami, I just couldn't find appropriate footwear for exploring, biking, dancing, walking on the beach, eating out, and simply living a dynamic day-to-day life.
That's how Womads came to be.
In 2021, I decided to create a brand offering high-quality, comfortable, and stylish accessories that empower the women who wear them.
I hand select and design all our pieces to bring women the best in both comfort and style.
When I launched our first collection in January 2023, I did it from my tiny living room in Miami Beach!
I couldn't have done it without help from friends and family. Especially my incredible mom!
Giving Back
Womads is all about supporting women in any way we can. For every purchase, we pledge to give 1% of profits to a charity helping Colombian women support themselves. This is a very important part of who we are and we will increase our impact as much as possible over the years.
We partner with a small family-run shoe factory that provides fair wages and excellent working conditions to their team. For example, our partners support mothers with a program that enables them to work from home while caring for their family.
Our natural rubber soles contribute to reforestation in parts of Colombia and help support local farmers, giving a new life to land that used to be exploited for growing drugs.
Thoughtful Design
Womads leather shoes and bags are expertly handmade in Colombia by skilled artisans.
Our pieces are thoughtfully designed to be both functional and fashionable—from the specialized Italian elastic to the extra flexible natural rubber soles, the lightly padded leather insoles, the buttery soft leather, our lightweight construction and quality hardware.
Every single item is thoroughly inspected multiple times during the manufacturing process before making its way from Colombia to Miami and finally to your doorstep.
