On Friday, Larroudé, the posh footwear brand, will introduce Colléct by Larroudé, a latest boutique experience online.
Since launching three years ago, Larroudé has shared content featuring designers on its site and has highlighted various creatives, including models, photographers and stylists. Now, customers can shop the complete look on its site, larroude.com.
Based on Marina Larroudé, cofounder and chief creative officer of Larroudé, she was inspired by her a long time experience as a fashion director of Barneys Latest York, fashion director of Teen Vogue and fashion market director at Style.com.
“The seek for those gems and the chance to launch them, and the best way that discovery could make a meaningful impact on their lives and businesses, is what has all the time been my favorite a part of the job,” she said.
She said Colléct will highlight the most effective designers across categories, including home, wellness, fashion and jewellery. For the launch, the corporate is featuring 17 brands, including Retrovai, Lingua Franca, La Vie Style House, Dr. Lara Devagan, Dear Annabelle, Gigi Burns and Jonathan Cohen, amongst others. It launches at 9 a.m. EST Friday.
“It makes it like a one-stop shop. I need it to be a way of discovery for the client,” she said.
“I need people to come back to the location and be surprised by stuff you don’t see since it gets lost in a sea of merchandise [on other sites]. I need them to have this great, fun experience,” she said.
For the corporate’s first outing, she went to her friends and more established brands, but ultimately she hopes to feature young and emerging designers on the location. She’s hopeful that young creatives will reach out to her once she establishes the platform.
Storytelling will probably be a key aspect of how the brands are presented. For instance, without delay it’s all about gift-giving, and finding the right pajamas and candles for the vacation. For spring/summer, she may do a resort theme with caftans and beach bags, and in fall, she looks to showcase the brand new parka or outerwear or the brand new cool sunglasses brand. She’ll select between 10 and 20 items per vendor.
After launching with the 17 brands, the location will add five more brands in January, after which will add completely latest merchandise when the brand new season starts.
“What’s so great in regards to the platform is there’s no risk for both sides. You share their story and so they share your story. You share a client data base. It’s very much an inclusive latest way of doing business,” she said.
For brands to participate, they should be on Shopify. Larroudé is then capable of connect with their Shopify accounts to create the marketplace. She said someone can come to her site for a pair of shoes and find yourself buying a candle or beauty product. Larroudé gets a percentage of the whole lot that’s sold, and achievement is completed by the varied vendors. The client stays on the Larroudé site to finish the transaction. “It’s very seamless,” she said, noting it’s just like affiliate marketing online. Larroudé doesn’t purchase any of the merchandise, however the client gets the Larroudé experience on the location.
Larroudé said Bianca Inocencio, a Brazilian-born 19-year-old student currently living in Milan on a scholarship at Bocconi University, worked remotely on the team to make all of the integrations occur.
As for Larroudé’s footwear business, she said, “We’re growing very fast. November goes to be our greatest month ever, and October was our greatest month ever. November is 4 times larger than we were last 12 months.” She attributes that to the corporate’s digital marketing, and opening its own factory this past April. Larroudé can also be trying to open one other factory. “We’re capable of place re-orders in a really fast pace,” she said. For instance, Larroudé had a shoe that sold out in September and it has placed 4 re-orders over two months. “We’re capable of fulfill demand because it’s happening,” she said.
To launch the brand new business, Larroudé has created a campaign featuring Cathy Paul, alongside model Mariah Martin, which was photographed by Primo Bollo.

In December 2021, Larroudé was awarded FN’s Launch of the 12 months honor on the thirty fifth FN Achievement Awards. The gathering, which is manufactured in Brazil, developed its own lasts and features boots, sandals and heels, which can be found at Larroude.com, in addition to stores similar to Nordstrom, Bloomingdale’s, Saks, Galeries Lafayette and Amazon Luxury Stores.
