A name synonymous with quality and style, Carl Scarpa has been leading the way in sophisticated footwear for over 40 years. We believe that great footwear is the cornerstone of any stylish outfit, and we strive to ensure our designs are eye-catching, beautifully crafted, fashion-forward and full of great design details. Our company was founded by Carl Scarpa, a cousin of the famous Italian architect Carlo Scarpa, one of the most important architects of the 20th century. Since then, we have strived to continue the Scarpa family’s creativity and instinct for great design with our range of quality Italian footwear and bags. Carl famously fell in love with Ireland, and opened his first international shop in Sligo in 1974. This store became an instant success with style lovers and quickly his collections became known for classic Italian style and design detail. Other stores quickly followed, and today we have 23 branches in the UK and Ireland, as well as our hugely successful website, which ships globally. We work tirelessly to gather together the very best brands and designs, all of which are exclusive to Carl Scarpa. Want to know more?
