Where Professional Purpose Meets Italian Artistry

Louise M Shoes was born from a deep understanding of what it means to walk with purpose—both literally and figuratively.

Founded by Louise Matson, an Australian former flight attendant who spent 17 years on her feet navigating airport terminals, boardrooms, and cabins, the brand was conceived from necessity but elevated through luxury. Louise saw firsthand the gap in the market: professional women were expected to look polished and elegant, but were too often let down by uncomfortable, ill-fitting shoes.

Determined to create something better, she embarked on a mission to design footwear that would empower women with confidence, comfort, and high end style. Collaborating with Italy’s most skilled shoemakers, she spent over a decade refining every last detail—from heel placement to leather suppleness—to ensure every Louise M shoe felt as extraordinary as it looked.

Today, Louise M is a celebrated Australian brand with European soul, fusing heritage craftsmanship with the lived realities of modern, professional women. Each pair is handcrafted in Italy using the finest leathers and meticulously engineered silhouettes that support long days, high standards, and ambitious careers.

Louise M Shoes are worn by airline cabin crew, professionals and corporate executives and leaders who demand both elegance and endurance.

Our pieces are not trend-driven. They are timeless investments—designed to outlast seasons and outpace expectations.
