    We are dead serious about disrupting the fashion world and being taken seriously about doing it. Tamara Mellon is a Series B funded company, backed by NEA (the world’s largest venture fund; portfolio includes Moda Operandi, Jet, Casper, Goop, Groupon, and Quidsi, among others). We’re one year in, and we’re not slowing down. This is luxury, without the bullshit, in a fast-paced, startup setting.

    New Rules of Luxury

    #1 By Women, For Women
    I've been around the block (more than once, in killer heels). I know what women need, and want. My shoes are designed by and for women. They're for leaning in, climbing ladders, shattering ceilings, walking out, school dropoffs, making an entrance, and re-writing rules. If you love something, we want to know. If you feel we can do better, we really want to know.

    #2 New Prices. Same Craftsmanship
    Forget shoes that are priced at 6x what it cost to make them. Forget the traditional retail calendar. I have forged relationships with family-run factories that for decades have made luxury shoes that won't strain your body or your bank account. No caveats (or markups), no seasons — just time-honored craftsmanship at direct-to-women prices.

    #3 Redefining Luxury Service
    We believe service isn't reserved for a select few, but is an act of gratitude when a woman chooses to shop with us. We make things that age slowly but get them to you quickly and we apply our same standard for craftsmanship and materials to our customer experience. Should your shoes need anything, our first-of-its-kind complimentary Cobbler Concierge service will take care of them, direct from your doorstep.
