About Le Mondeur

Le Mondeur brings the world to your feet through modern design and ethical artisanship. Our shoe collections are masterfully— and ethically — handcrafted in small batches in Portugal with global artisan textiles from the roads less traveled. We collaborate directly with some of the finest local textile artisans from around the globe. Our family-run shoe factory in Portugal then transforms these exquisite textiles into small, handcrafted collections of wearable art. From promoting artisan traditions imperiled by fast fashion to advancing environmental and social justice issues, each of our collaborations is driven by a purpose that goes beyond fashion. We design our shoes so you can look good and feel good about what you’re wearing. Le Mondeur was first launched in early 2017 by its founder, Jessica Singer, as an extension of her love of adventure and connecting with people across cultures through travel. Prior to that time, Jessica had spent many years traveling and living in countries throughout the world, often for her work on human rights issues.
