Bergdorf Goodman 58th Street Windows Summer 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. 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.
