Launched in fall of 2005 by Christopher and Alexandra Silverman, twenty two shoes is an accesible luxury brand specializing in footwear and handbags. Their design philosophy balances modern minimalist aesthetics and old-world craftsmanship, setting an enduring standard for style, elegance and function. The mission at twenty two shoes is to become and iconic brand based on the principles of high quality and taste, environmental sustainability, and social justice.

The twenty two shoes product is an understated classic; it is subtle yet has depth in the design. Like an Eames chair, on the surface the shoes might look simple. However, upon closer look, the details astound in their functional beauty. Their approach to design is one of longevity, creating timeless pieces that you will wear for years, rather than the trendy styles that you will wear for one season and discard the next. By striking this balance, they have captured the hearts of both the luxury consumer, for whom they offer an accessible product, and the savvy shopper for whom they are aspirational.
