Zoe Lee is a footwear and accessories label founded in 2011, known for its dedication to sustainability and artisanal craftsmanship. Each pair of shoes is meticulously handmade in a fourth-generation, family-run factory in northern Italy. Zoe sources all leathers and components from trusted suppliers in Italy and France, ensuring both quality and traceability. This also defines the achievable quantities which can never surpass 25 pairs per sku.

The brand’s design studio is based in Normandy, France, where Zoe brings over 25 years of experience in shoe design. A graduate of both the Royal College of Art and Central Saint Martins, she has spent much of her career quietly and consistently creating collections for luxury brands. Through this experience, she’s come to understand that true luxury lies not in speed or volume, but in having the time to work slowly, with intention—producing only when it makes sense for the process, the materials, and the environment.

Her own designs reflect this philosophy: sculptural, considered, and enduring. They embody a rare balance of comfort and style, shaped by a deep respect for craftsmanship, form, and the natural pace of thoughtful creation.
