Jolinette is an American high-quality sandal brand for women that strive to provide elegant, yet trendsetting products for any occasion.
We are committed to handcrafting the highest quality footwear. Jolinette sandals are hand-sewn and hand-lasted by our expert shoemakers in Los Angeles.
We produce only limited numbers of sandals, since we create each pair by hand. That, along with the quality of our materials and our attention to detail, sets us apart from the mass-market competition.
Each pair of Jolinette sandals comes with two sets of interchangeable elements which you can mix and match. With one pair of sandals, you can create multiple looks to fit your outfits...
You could say that passion for fashion and entrepreneurship are in my blood. My mom was always experimenting and looking for innovative ways to style not only herself but also me and my two sisters. Eventually my mom became co-owner of a custom-made clothing business where as a child I used to spend hours examining and comparing different sorts of fabrics, buttons, zippers, leathers and accessories. I loved it. I especially enjoyed observing company's highly skilled seamstresses, and marveled at the care and attention they gave to producing a perfect final product.
The time I spent at my mom's company helped me to develop an exceptional attention to detail, an appreciation of the importance of high-quality materials, and a commitment to designing and developing precision clothes that make the wearer feel comfortable and look beautiful.
Jolinette was established years later when I started decorating my own shoes. I wanted to hide a scar a surgery left me with and I was able to find creative, innovative methods to cover it, while still look chic and stylish. When I’d wear my sandals out in public, people would often stop me and ask where I’d bought them.
Every pair of Jolinette sandals reflects the lessons about quality and elegance that I learned in my mom’s shop. At Jolinette we use only the highest-quality materials – we labor over every detail – and we ensure that every pair, including the packaging, is flawlessly finished.
Please take a moment to look at our product line on this website, and imagine how you’d look and feel in a pair of Jolinettes!
