The Story Behind:
Massaro is famous for creating iconic footwear for Chanel, including their signature two-tone sling-backs (under Coco Chanel) and various runway styles under both Karl Lagerfeld and Virginie Viard. Massaro began its historic partnership with Chanel in 1957, when Raymond Massaro (grandson of the founder) developed the first two-tone sling-back sandal for Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel. The collaboration evolved significantly over the decade. The early Collaboration started in 1950s until 1990s. Massaro became a regular collaborator, crafting iconic designs that challenged fashion norms, such as the 6 centimeters block heel at a time when high stilettos were popular. Chanel officially acquired Massaro in 2002 to preserve specialty artisan workshops. Today, Massaro remains the primary shoemaker for Chanel’s Haute Couture and Métiers d’Art collections. For example, they recently developed a collection of sling-backs for the Spring-Summer 2026 Haute Couture show. Notably, Massaro is the only name officially permitted to be stitched into the shoe’s insole alongside with the Chanel logo.
