Famolare

We are an American shoe brand founded in 2016 by Gabriela Ephrem, a Brazilian entrepreneur passionate about supporting women's unique styles. It all started in 2014 with a change in Gabriela’s own lifestyle from leading business meetings in high heels to wearing flip flops and changing diapers as a mom. At that moment, she realized that her shoes were not as versatile and comfortable as they needed to be. She set out to create functional footwear that encourages creativity and freedom of choice in every aspect of life. Today, our commitment to empowering women and caring for the environment is woven into the core business practices of Gabriela Ephrem.

Now we are proud to share a link with a movement that so forcefully champions and uplifts women. Our team is built of women who drive our business and our values. We think about everything in our shoes - creating product that our customers keep coming back to.

We are a female owned and operated company. You could say we are passionate about Fashion and we have been running a Fashion Agency for the past 17 years selling Australian Swimwear brands into some of the best retailers in the UK.

We are truly inspired by their support of our company. We would break rules, focus on the unexpected and deliver products faster than ever before. We would begin to forge a path for more advanced and responsible manufacturing processes. We would cater to the consumer's focus on value. We have been able to provide jobs to many in underdeveloped countries, help provide support for the homeless, fight for women’s rights, advocate for social change, and provide vital care to children. Fueled by passion and purpose, we set out to offer consumers and clients a new choice. Today, we believe that great product, sustainability and social entrepreneurship can live together in an enterprise that lives and breathes innovation. Our aim is to strengthen our ties to community through the products we deliver, the personal connections we make and the ways in which we give back.

Our goal is to empower those who wear our garments. We aim to offer our customers the chance to express their authentic selves through enduring, wearable, and distinctive designs. We try to include this as much as possible in our production chain. Crafting two collections annually, each comprising five chapters, we're renowned for our handmade prints and vibrant colors. Fabienne founded our brand, initially focusing on accessories in 2006 under the name Fab.

Founded by two young entrepreneurs driven by an urge to see more representation in the fashion industry. It's our mission to create an inclusive, sustainable, and diverse design chain. And while we're at it, inspire as many new creators to do the same. We're not afraid to disrupt and ignite change in a traditional environment. Forward thinking has always been a part of our core and we see the future is ready for these changes, so we're ready to lead them.
