Ellen Christine Couture with Paul Mayer Attitudes Inside the Window June 2013
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. 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.
