Parisian footwear brand PHILEO has reached a major milestone, officially opening its first independent store in the city where it was founded. The boutique, which showcases the brand’s architectural and technical vision for footwear, opened its doors in May 2024 in the heart of the capital, cementing the young label’s rapid rise in the luxury market.
Located at 40 Rue Dauphine in the chic 6th Arrondissement, the space is designed to reflect the brand’s focus on engineering and sculptural form. Founded in 2019 by designer Philéo Landowski, the brand is renowned for reimagining classic silhouettes like derbies and boots using innovative, sustainable materials such as Apple Skin® and recycled components.
The Phileo Paris First Store is more than just a retail space; it serves as a gallery for special projects, an in-store exclusive artisanal line, and collaborative works. The first artist invited was ceramicist Clara Valdes, whose raw, natural forms echoed Landowski’s own commitment to craftsmanship and material exploration within the boutique’s rosewood cabinets.
Previously, PHILEO was primarily available through high-end retailers like Dover Street Market. The opening of the Phileo Paris First Store grants Landowski the creative freedom to curate the entire brand experience directly for customers, solidifying the label’s identity as a unique blend of fashion, art, and forward-thinking technical design.
