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…
I had all these beauties in the back of my mind when 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 biking, dancing, walks on the beach, restaurant outings, and simple day-to-day living.
That's how Womads came to be.
After asking around, it was clear that other women felt this same gap. It was either flip flops (so painful after a few hours), sneakers (not the most stylish option), or slides (ever tried dancing in those?).
In 2021, I decided to create a company offering high-quality, comfortable, and stylish accessories, that also celebrate the women who wear them: YOU.
Womads Peep Toe Flats are practical, top quality, fairly priced, beautiful shoes that you can wear for all your adventures!
These stylish sandals are made of Colombian natural rubber and quality leather, designed by me in Miami, and produced in Medellin by expert shoemakers.
These flats are extremely light and flexible. They are perfect for travel and for everyday life. The elastic structure holds your foot securely, the soft leather molds to the shape of your foot, and the design is stylish and versatile.
The soles are sustainably made from natural rubber obtained from trees in an eco-friendly process. The rubber manufacturer we partner with works with local farmers to help reforest a part of Southern Colombia while simultaneously giving new life to land previously used for growing illicit drugs.
When I finally launched our first collection in January 2023, I did it from my living room in Miami Beach. With help from friends and family, I was able to get this bootstrapped side-hustle, passion-project off the ground and on the feet of so many wonderful ladies.
I hope you enjoy these few photos of the process: finalizing our first prototype, selecting leathers, and fulfilling the very first batch.
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 sandals will accompany you on your fulfilling life journeys. No need to compromise either on style or comfort.
The Womads peep toe flats are so light and versatile they are the best travel sandals. They are perfect as all day walking sandals for women who want to be on the move. They are ideal dressy flat sandals to elevate an outfit, and they are great everyday shoes.
Womads shoes are expertly handmade in Colombia with quality as our priority. Our soft leathers are meticulously selected and our soles are carefully crafted from eco friendly natural rubber. Every single shoe is thoroughly inspected multiple times during the manufacturing process before being shipped out.
I deeply care about how Womads products are made. That’s why we partner with highly skilled artisans to carefully handcraft our footwear and accessories. I am only interested in the highest ethical and quality standards out there. My goal is to make products that I, myself, can proudly wear and use every single day, and that you can confidently show off, recommend, and buy again and again!
Every inch of the Womads shoes has been carefully considered and tested. Our shoes are thoughtfully designed to be both functional and fashionable. From the resilient and functional elastic, to the extra flexible outer sole, the lightly padded leather inner sole, and the soft leather.
