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.

The goal behind M. Gemi was to find a medium between the high price points of designer heels the likes of Christian Louboutin’s or Manolo Blahnik’s and the lesser quality of fast-fashion shoe offerings the likes of Forever 21. To do this the company utilizes family-owned specialty shoe factories headquartered in Italy. They worked closely with Italian craftsmen to release fabulous new styles every week.

The price points for the shoes can range anywhere from 128 dollars to 298 dollars. Of course, many are wondering, what’s the secret to keeping the stylish shoes so affordable? It’s quite simple actually; they follow a model that helps cut out any additional costs. The shoes are shipped directly from the factory to the consumer, thereby cutting out the middle man.

M.Gemi finds the world between fast-fashion and luxury

The only downfall that M. Gemi has is that their shoes don’t bolster any of the major brand names that those who covet designer shoes usually lust after. Still, those customers who actually know fashion and aren’t just shopping for brands are sure to have their interests piqued by M. Gemi and their fabulously curated selection of shoes. Some of the offerings they currently have include the Baciami, a sandal that is described as the perfect marriage of leather trim and sporty elastic, and the Farfalla, a snake-printed leather pump that is sure to knock your socks off.

Lovers of high quality shoes should be sure to give this website a gander, as they are doing something no one else has done before. It’s also nice to finally see some shoes at a middle of the road price point between fast-fashion and luxury. M. Gemi is already proving to be a one of a kind endeavor with extremely beautiful offerings.
