The brand
Chelsea Paris is an exciting contradiction; a young, modern brand infused with heritage and culture; luxury footwear that treads an effortless line between being on-trend and timeless. Founded by Theresa Ebagua, and named in honour of her two daughters, the Chelsea Paris collections incorporate bold design elements from historic French culture, with the glamour of today’s Paris. These are timelessly sophisticated shoes, imbued with a frisson of each season’s most elegant trends.
The Chelsea Paris woman is a mutable character – well traveled, supremely chic, elegant and cosmopolitan with a vintage panache. She combines the timelessness of movie icons Brigitte Bardot and Grace Kelly, with the ultramodern stylings of Keira Knightley and Audrey Tautou. She is passionate, deeply feminine and entirely individual, never swayed by outré trends, always moved by her own desires. Each shoe glows with a cocktail of influences, with the classic chic of the 1920s and 30s rubbing shoulders with Hollywood glamour and flashes of modern cool. An eternal sensuality is displayed in the luxury of the materials and the classic chic of the designs, which fuse historical quirks, sublime colour schemes and expert manufacturing quality.
Heritage and quality are trademarks of the Chelsea Paris brand, with each pair of shoes made by hand in small artisan factories in Italy. The shoes are not merely sculptural masterpieces; they are made to be worn, to get you through the day and into the night. They are style and substance.
The origin of the brand is really Theresa’s story – built on one woman’s drive and passion; her inspirations and tradition colours all elements of the Chelsea Paris collections, from the exquisite designs, the ease of wear and the range of materials and colours – but each new collection tells its own story. And each pair of Chelsea Paris shoes is a chapter you’ll go back to time and again.
