About the Founder

Monika Desai's decision to change her career and start a footwear company was born out of a lifetime of frustration of not being able to find shoes for her size 4 1/2 feet.

Determined to find a pair of shoes that she liked and that actually fit her for her wedding, she designed and commissioned a pair of custom-made shoes. She fell in love with the process of choosing the style, color, leather and accessory so much she decided to turn the concept into a business so women everywhere could experience the same thrill of designing their own shoes. Since then she has been working furiously to make her idea into a reality.
