Direct-to-consumer women's luxury footwear MoreLess
Tamara Mellon is a luxury footwear brand founded in 2016 by Tamara Mellon and Jill Layfield. The brand operates on a direct-to-consumer model, which allows it to offer high-quality, Italian-made shoes at a lower price point than traditional luxury brands.
Tamara Mellon, the co-founder of Jimmy Choo, has a deep understanding of the luxury footwear market. Her experience and expertise are evident in the design and craftsmanship of her eponymous brand. The brand's shoes are known for their timeless designs, luxurious materials, and comfortable fit.
The company's direct-to-consumer model allows it to bypass the traditional retail markup, which can be as high as 6x. This means that customers can purchase high-quality, luxury shoes at a more accessible price point. The brand also offers a variety of services, such as free shipping and returns, and a "Cobbler Concierge" service that provides repairs and maintenance for its shoes.
The brand's target market is women who appreciate luxury and quality, but who are also savvy shoppers. The brand has been successful in reaching this market through its strong online presence and its focus on customer service.
