Bold, Playful, and Powerfully Chic: The Statement Shoes of Larroudé
Origins and Founding
Larroudé was founded in 2020 by former Barneys fashion director Marina Larroudé and her husband, Ricardo Larroudé. Created in New York during the pandemic, the brand was born from Marina’s desire to offer beautifully designed shoes with designer-level quality at a more accessible price. Drawing on her deep industry expertise, she built a brand focused on fashion-forward footwear that celebrates joy, boldness, and everyday glamour.
Ownership and Leadership
Marina Larroudé serves as the creative force and co-founder, overseeing design, brand strategy, and collaborations. The company remains family-owned and operated, with in-house design and production partnerships that ensure consistent craftsmanship and price transparency.
Aesthetic and Design Language
Larroudé’s aesthetic is vibrant, polished, and pop-culture-savvy. The brand is best known for platform heels, metallic boots, and Y2K-inspired silhouettes that feel modern but nostalgic. While visually playful, the shoes are engineered for real-life wear, with comfort-focused construction and premium materials. Whether it’s a sky-high Mary Jane or a sleek point-toe flat, each design offers a dose of statement style without sacrificing functionality.
