Our Story

An independent house

Anne Thomas is an independent French footwear house — thoughtful and exacting — guided by creative rigor, an affirmed artisanal approach, and a commitment to making high quality accessible to more people.

Born from a family-driven story — first with a jewelry line imagined by Anne Thomas in 2010, then from 2013 with footwear designed by Stéphane Salimochi — the house now devotes itself entirely to creating shoes for a contemporary French and international clientele, drawn to fine materials and a slower, intentional way of living.
A clientele for whom a brand is not defined by noise, logos, or marketing theatrics.
Far from a dominant model where the high margins of certain luxury houses often outweigh the substance of the product.

Each pair begins with a drawing, a pure line, a search for the right balance between modernity, timelessness, and comfort.

Considered quality, accessible & enduring

Anne Thomas shoes are rooted in a considered, slow-production approach — small runs produced as needed, complemented by two seasonal preorder periods, allowing us to produce closely in line with demand and respond to our clients with precision.
Our shoes are made in Portugal, in the Aveiro region, in small family-run workshops, using leathers sourced primarily from Italy’s finest tanneries.

The ambition has never changed: to offer impeccable craftsmanship, a contemporary silhouette, and true comfort — the kind that allows you to walk freely, without compromise, at prices that remain accessible.

Our collections are built around enduring signature styles, some present since the beginning of the line: continued season after season, sometimes refined, and never discounted — a choice that protects the economic integrity of the project and allows us to offer fair pricing year-round.

This stance, rare in the industry in 2013, reflects a deep conviction: a beautiful piece should not lose its value with time, and deserves to be shared widely. To make quality accessible.

Only end-of-cycle pieces are offered on sale, twice per year.

A story written with you

After first focusing on wholesale partnerships around the world, and later welcoming clients in boutiques in Paris and Lyon between 2017 and 2022, the house now dedicates its energy to a direct online relationship — prioritizing authentic exchange and personal guidance for an international clientele, loyal and discerning.

Listening, time, and thoughtful advice guide every interaction with our clients.
In parallel, Anne Thomas continues to work with a carefully chosen network of international retailers, selected for their eye and their independence.
