About Jibs

Let Jibs take you stylishly wherever you’re going. Follow in our founder Natalie Kathleen’s (formerly an epic high-heel addict!) footsteps who launched Jibs in 2015 after embarking on a journey to blend her passion for beautiful shoes with a love of travel, adventure and life. Essentially, she wanted to make a shoe that could keep up, that wouldn’t slow her down, that could take her from the office, to an impromptu bike ride, to drinks with her friends - all while still glowing with style, as if wearing stilettos. She quickly made her way to Três Coroas, Brazil to a friend’s family factory, and what resulted was Jibs, a footwear collection with recycled soles, flexible slip-on designs and bespoke LWG (aka: sustainably certified!) biodegradable perforated leather. This combo of sleek construction and diamond perforations is the magic to enabling Jibs to fit a broad range of feet sizes and shapes, for everyone from the outdoor enthusiasts to the to the top style icons. Why “Jibs”? As you may, or may not know, the Jib is a triangular forwardmost sail that collects the wind to guide a sailboat in its desired direction. This sail is essential for ‘jibbing’ a zig zagging path, maneuvering a boat against the wind and across the seas. To us - this embodies the act of enjoying the journey. To be ok to take the uncertain path. To explore. To find excitement in changing direction. To set your sights on the destination and be prepared for anything along your path.
