ARIZONA LOVE

Founded by Leslie Halfon in 2018, the brand Arizona Love was born of a trip down the West Coast of the United States. In the heart of Grand Canyon National Park, in Arizona, the designer was inspired by the vintage spirt and folk ambiance of the people she encountered. Those were the beginnings of Arizona Love. Halfon started out designing comfortable, stylish sandals, which pleased her early customers. Arizona Love sandals, are fun, colourful and adaptable to different lifestyles, from adventurer to city dweller. The brand's signature style, the Trekky Bandana, traverses time. With its timeless bohemian-chic style, the pair is made from recycled cotton bandanas, with soles made of lightweight plastic EVA. Over the years, the model has evolved, with new collections and exclusive pairs. Arizona Love shoes, designed in France, are produced with respect for the planet, and more and more geared towards slow fashion. The brand indeed advocates for quality over quantity, notably in working with Repreve, a company specialised in recycled fibres. The embroideries on certain pairs of Arizona Love are also made by hand, in order to maintain unique, sustainable authenticity. Among its collaborations, Arizona Love has partnered with designer Jason Wu on a collection of colourful sandals in cotton poplin and gauze fabric. And more recently, the shoe brand collaborated with ready-to-wear cashmere brand Kutjen, working on a never-before-seen capsule collection of bedding and home goods. Arizona Love also launched stylish lines of ready-to-wear and home linens. For summer sandals, fall for the pearl Trekky sandals or the Bandana Trekky sandals with raffia soles, or the platform Bandana flip-flops for optimal comfort.
