M. Gemi creates accessible luxury

What if someone told you that you could fuel your designer shoe addiction without considering taking out a second mortgage on your home, or applying for that third credit card? You’d probably look at them like they had just sprouted a second head, but, thanks to fashion start-up M. Gemi that dream can now become a reality. Launched by Rue La La founder Ben Fischman and shoe merchant Maria Gangemi, M. Gemi offers hand-crafted Italian footwear at a more accessible price point than your usual priced over 500 dollars designer shoes.
