And 'straight to consumer' means more affordable 😉
Founded by Lauren Bucquet, the former Director of Footwear and Accessories at Rag & Bone, Labucq runs on a direct-to-consumer model that is able produce high quality Italian-made shoes that sell for less than 55% of what they would cost at retail. Not only are the shoes well-made, Labucq designs have a quirky, playful air about them.
A pair of the lime green sandals languished in my cart for a few days, until an e-mail arrived in in my inbox with the subject line: ‘Why To Buy Labucq Shoes.’ The note outlined the small, family-owned Italian factory the shoes are made in and the brand’s lack of overhead. “In sum, we are offering a contemporary designer product, Made in Italy, with a lower markup than our retail peers. We hope you’ll love them.” Sold.
