Our Story

Handcrafted with love by Filipino artisans in a generations-old workshop in Manila, each pair honors the storied tradition of the Filipino sapatero, preserving a craft passed down through time.

At True Story, craftsmanship and sustainability are at the heart of every design. We create with a focus on true comfort, using only the finest cruelty-free and eco-conscious materials.

When I design bridal shoes, I always ask,

“It’s beautiful—but how does it make you feel?”

This question defines my design language. I want every bride to feel graceful and poised on her most magical day.

Wedding shoes become more than just an accessory. They are keepsakes of a love story, often treasured long after the celebration ends. Each design is created with this in mind, evoking the essence of love, romance, and memory through the most intricate details.

When dreaming up a pair, I draw inspiration from the natural world—delicate florals softly layered onto tulle, creating an ethereal, almost dreamlike finish.

Working with tulle and lace is a labor of patience and precision. These materials require a more refined, thoughtful construction than traditional leather—but the result is something truly special.

These are the details that make True Story irresistible.

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

Love,

Catherine ♡
