Bergdorf Goodman 58th Street Windows January 2013 Our Coverage Sponsored by Paul Mayer Attitudes
Paul
Mayer's luxuriously, comfortable designs keep women coming back for multiple --
even dozens -- of pairs. Classic, yet contemporary and always comfortable, his
shoes are an addiction that we highly recommend.
A
staple of the Paul Mayer collection is the simple ballet-flat, with true
ballerina construction for a perfect fit that comes in a variety of colors and
materials. A cult favorite is the cozy, a flat with lavender-scent infused
soles adding style and fragrance to collector's closets as Paul's designs
emerge in sophisticated design incarnations season after season in the most
incredible hues, textures and modern innovations in luxury footwear because we
know firsthand how incredibly brilliant he is. Here are two recent hot numbers
from the Paul Mayer hit parade:
Mayer
founded the brand in 2004 with partner, Jeff Levy. All shoes in the line are
manufactured in Spain’s Valencia region, along the Mediterranean coast by a
skilled staff of 12 artisans. They craft each pair of shoes with an old-world
attention to detail that includes in-house embroidery, quilting and stitching
as well as custom tanned leather. This allows the brand to cater to each
retailer’s specific demands in with timely and consistent alacrity, with orders
completed in an unheard-of 3 to 5 weeks.
In
2011, Paul Mayer stepped out into Manhattan's Upper East Side with a new
attitude, opening his flagship store at 1388 Third Avenue. The store which
cleverly resembles a pink and black shoebox offers up to 150 shoe styles,
including his popular ballerinas, exclusive designs and more. As an added
bonus, shoppers have the chance of running into the designer, himself. Paul's
sage shopping advice and style eye has made him the New York shoe lover's best
kept secret. When not in New York, Paul can be found traveling to his myriad of
stores across the country meeting his loyal clientele or vacationing in his
favorite spot, the Royal Hawaiian on Waikiki Beach.
