Unisa History:

Founded in 1973 in Spain, the footwear and accessories brand Unisa caters to women who enjoy a relaxed style. The original concept of a small family footwear export company shifted quickly to become a manufacturer of women's shoes and accessories covering Spain and the rest of Europe. Product Development and Sourcing Director Carlos Musso and Retail Manager Antonio Porta were responsible for this shift in direction. 

A large contributor to the success of Unisa was its move to hire top designers from outside of Spain to keep the brand fresh and to review and implement trends in their designs. The small label took inspiration from the relaxed nature of the Spanish lifestyle, its designs are characterised by a mainstream look with a relaxed vibe.

In 1989 the brand again changed direction and UNISA Europe separated from its American partner to create a collection that would appeal more to its European customers. This gamble paid off with an amazing initial reception across France and Germany. Since then the brand was stocked in many large European Department stores leading to rapid growth.

Unisa Brand ETHOS

A cornerstone of the Unisa brand is its focus on quality above all else. This approach has paid off as the brand gained International recognition. Unisa is extremely particular about its selection of high-quality leather. Glimpses of the Spanish culture are reflected in their vibrant colour selections in super soft leather and suedes. They utilise technology throughout their designs:

• They use cushioned anti-fatigue SuperSoft footbeds - a firm favourite among our customers. These light and flexible insoles offer amazing impact absorption which contributes to the care of bones and joints.
• The SuperLight range is just that - incredibly lightweight even in the chunkiest of models.
• The Unisa collection with its leather outer and inners is breathable - a practical option year-round.
• Non-slip TPU soles for better traction.

The brand has a great reputation and has been sported by Queen Letizia of Spain on multiple occasions including on a recent visit to the Royal Collection Gallery in Madrid and a visit to the island of Menorca.

Unisa Bags

We love that Unisa manufactures bags that pair perfectly with their footwear. The construction and compartments are well thought out making them extremely practical as well as gorgeous to look at.
