Our Story

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 shouldn't be this hard!

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 biking, dancing, walks on the beach, restaurant outings, and simple day-to-day living.

That's how Womads came to be.

In 2021, I decided to create a brand offering high-quality, comfortable, and stylish accessories that celebrate the women who wear them: YOU.

When I finally launched our first collection in January 2023, I did it from my tiny living room in Miami Beach!

With help from friends, family, and way too much coffee, I turned this bootstrapped passion project into something real - getting our shoes on the feet of amazing women who, like me, refuse to choose between comfort and style.

All women should be free to thrive through adventures and discoveries.

Womads is here to support women who want to be active and bold while looking and feeling their best.

These soft leather pieces will accompany you on your fulfilling life journeys - no need to compromise on style OR comfort.

Our shoes and bags are so light and versatile, they're perfect for everything: all-day city exploring, elevating your favorite outfits, or just running errands around town. They're the accessories that move with your life, whatever that looks like.

I deeply care about how Womads products are made. That's why we partner with highly skilled artisans who carefully handcraft our footwear and accessories. I'm only interested in the highest ethical and quality standards out there.

We're committed to sustainability too - using natural rubber that helps reforest Colombian land and supporting local farming communities. Every purchase makes a positive impact.

My goal is to make products that I can proudly wear every single day, and that you can confidently show off, recommend, and buy again and again!

Womads pieces are expertly handmade in Colombia by skilled artisans, with quality as our top priority. Our soft full grain leathers are meticulously selected and our soles are carefully crafted from eco-friendly natural rubber.

Every single item is thoroughly inspected multiple times during the manufacturing process before making its way from Colombia to your doorstep.

Every inch of our Womads shoes and bags has been carefully considered and tested.

Our pieces are thoughtfully designed to be both functional and fashionable - from the resilient Italian elastic in our shoes to the extra flexible outer soles, the lightly padded leather inner soles, and the buttery soft leather.

Our crossbody bags feature lightweight construction and quality hardware that moves effortlessly with your day.
