About the Brand:

Le Mondeur is an ethical footwear startup that partners with global artisans to produce shoe collections that bridge together tradition and contemporary design. Each of our collections is organized around artisan textiles from a different country, which are then transformed by our family-run factory in Portugal into unique collections of handcrafted shoes that invites its wearer to travel the world through shoes. Le Mondeur’s founder, Jessica Singer, spent many years traveling and living in countries throughout the world, often for her work on human rights issues. Never one to choose brand names over a handcrafted piece with a story, Jessica founded Le Mondeur with the aim of bringing those rare finds—and the stories of those who make them—to others back home. While Le Mondeur began by curating broader collections of clothes and accessories, it was our unique shoes that took immediate center stage, propelling Le Mondeur into this exciting new focus of traveling the world through shoes
