Berlin-based footwear and accessories house Aeyde was founded in 2015 by Luisa Dames, who envisioned a more understated version of luxury, and set out to democratize modern design and enduring quality. Her intention was to challenge preconceived notions of luxury by focusing on transparent pricing, sustainable sourcing, slow consumption and minimalistic design. With a vision that's inextricable from the modernist roots of her native Germany, Dames has developed a signature aesthetic defined by classic shapes and modern details—marrying form and function, the past and the present, the masculine and the feminine.
