The Story of L'Artiste: Wearable Art Inspired by Moroccan Tradition and French Impressionism

During a family heritage trip to Morocco in the early 2000s, the founders of L'Artiste first discovered the ancient leather tanneries on a rooftop in the old market in the city of Fez. The vibrant colors and the process of traditional hand-painted shoes were fascinating and led to the creation of the L'Artiste brand.

L'Artiste brings this inspiration to life, combining French Impressionism with the brand's Moroccan heritage. The expression of one's inner perceptions of nature and its divine beauty is the inspiring force that drives the creation of L'Artiste's exquisite designs and unparalleled quality, matched with traditional handcrafted footwear that suits an ever-growing need for innovative creativity.

Each L'Artiste collection embodies a balance of the brand's Moroccan heritage combined with the French Impressionism art movement that started in the mid-19th century and included the desire to hand-paint modern life. L'Artiste styles integrate creativity, female charm, art, and romance into their unique artisanship and design in every piece.

Every L'Artiste product is handmade and hand-painted by the brand's artists while using the finest materials; genuine leather and rubber soles to provide maximal quality and comfort. The leathers undergo a special coloring and vegan dying process that originated in the Moroccan alphas - a method that has been used for centuries, ensuring an artisan look and feel in every piece.

The ancient tradition of Moroccan production combined with French designs produce the unique L'Artiste collection, which focuses on design, comfort, and extraordinary attention to detail. With a palette of endless color choices and materials, when a woman steps into a pair of L'Artiste shoes, she makes a fashion statement. Every pair is a mini masterpiece of self-expression, innovation, and originality in living color.
