Our Story

The Brand

Our story began with the desire to create dreamy and thoughtfully designed wedding shoes for today's brides.

On 21st of March 2019, the first day of Spring, True Story launched its first capsule collection.

Handmade with love by Filipino artisans in a generations old workshop in Manila - preserving the storied Filipino "Sapatero" (shoemaker) craft and tradition.

Craftsmanship and sustainability are integral to True Story's designs, pulling focus to true comfort, whilst making use of the finest materials that are cruelty-free and eco-friendly.

The Perfect Fit

Wedding shoes never felt this good!⁠ Enjoy the true comfort of enhanced cushioning and thoughtfully contoured styles.

True Stories are carefully crafted to give you true comfort with enhanced cushioning, softer than soft tulle uppers, and lightweight design.

Our signature confection of luxe tulle + fine vegan leather will mold to the shape of your foot and are silky soft and breathable. Say goodbye to painful feet, and say "OUI" to your dream pair!

The refined styles combined with the finest materials make our shoes your perfect match in style and comfort.

Evermore dreamy.

Evermore comfortable.

Design

When I design bridal shoes, I always ask "It's beautiful, but how does it make you feel?" This is my design language. I want my brides to feel graceful and poised on their most magical day.

Wedding shoes are perfect mementos for celebrating your love story and will essentially become one of the most treasured pairs of shoes for the bride. I want my designs to evoke such elements. The quintessence of our designs is in the intricate details reminiscent of love and romance.

When dreaming up a design, I infuse enchanting elements inspired by the natural world, using florals that blend beautifully onto the tulle surface, creating an ethereal look.

Making shoes with delicate tulle and lace requires a lot of patience. It takes more time and skill than working with conventional leather. There are a few aspects of taking on these luxe fabrics that require a refined construction process. The end result however, is incredibly rewarding.

These are the signature details that make True Stories so irresistible.

... Forever dreamy and so comfortable, it almost feels like you're walking on clouds.

Love,
Catherine ♡
