Pinet

Brand of luxury women’s footwear founded in 1885 and reputed to be one of the oldest and most prestigious in France. Its founder Franµois Pinet trained in his father’s workshop and then set himself up in Rue Paradis-Poissonnière in Paris in 1863. At the beginning of the 1900s his son opened shops in London and Paris, gaining recognition for the brand. Following that, the made-to-measure collection developed into a high-quality mass-produced range, designed for a period by Roger Vivier. At the end of the 1980s the brand became part of the André Group.
