Additional fees and taxes not included.
Caroline Robert, founder of PAIRS IN PARIS, is a French designer specializing in fashion and accessories. Having lived in cities such as Madrid and Bogotá, she cultivated a deep appreciation for art and fashion across cultural boundaries. In 2005, she earned a Bachelor's degree in Design from École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Visuels de La Cambre in Brussels.
After graduation, Caroline began her professional journey at Hermès, where she developed a fascination with the shoemaking process. Determined to become a shoemaker with a distinct personal style, she dedicated a year to learning traditional shoemaking techniques.
Caroline went on to work as a designer of leather goods, shoes, and accessories in several haute couture boutiques in Paris. During this time, she also created custom pieces for global icons such as Lady Gaga and Beyoncé, as well as props for films by Michel Gondry—experiences that sharpened her artistic sensibilities.
In October 2013, she co-founded PAIRS IN PARIS, a premium handcrafted sneaker brand, alongside graphic designer Antonin Waterkeyn, in the heart of Paris. PAIRS IN PARIS is an urban, casual, and refined luxury sneaker brand rooted in Parisian sensibility. Designed for the elegant and modern nomadic lifestyle, the brand offers premium leather sneakers that suit all genders and ages. Its signature aesthetic lies in combining the heritage of traditional shoemaking with contemporary design, evoking nostalgia through romantic yet practical reinterpretations of the past.
Caroline introduced leather—a material traditionally used in formal footwear—into the world of sneakers, creating a unique and sophisticated casual style. Distinctive brand signatures include the embossed logo on the heel and a metal ring that secures the tongue of the shoe. Together with a team of highly skilled artisans, the designer focuses purely on quality. Thanks to its exquisite craftsmanship and refined design, PAIRS IN PARIS continues to grow rapidly, with a strong presence in luxury footwear retailers across Europe, Asia, and beyond.
PAIRS IN PARIS takes pride not only in its unique and emotionally resonant designs, but also in its uncompromising commitment to quality. Every product is designed in France and handcrafted using proprietary techniques in Porto, a northern city in Portugal renowned for its shoemaking heritage. By adhering to traditional production methods while integrating its own high-end machinery and exclusive techniques, the brand honors the spirit of local craftsmanship and brings out the full potential of natural materials—manifesting its distinctive design philosophy.
Each pair of PAIRS IN PARIS shoes reflects meticulous craftsmanship. From the precision of the stitching and cutting to the seamless joins between leather pieces, the artisanal passion is evident in every detail. The brand uses only premium materials to ensure optimal comfort, hygiene, and durability. To distinguish itself from mass-market footwear, even the invisible parts of the shoe are crafted with top-grade Portuguese calf leather. This carefully selected leather, known for its dense and fine structure, offers exceptional strength, breathability, and hygienic benefits.
Moreover, the shoes feature ergonomically designed forms, ventilated and antimicrobial insoles made from high-performance elastic materials, and natural rubber outsoles that are both flexible and resilient—completing the elevated quality of each product.
A signature strength of PAIRS IN PARIS lies in its refined and natural color palettes. The lace decorations are intricately woven using traditional techniques and then dyed in exclusive hues that embody the brand's identity. All metal embellishments are finished with 14k gold plating, adding a final touch of sophistication and luxury.
