Founded by moi, MadCharlotte is a brand that seeks to capture la joie de vivre, that uniquely French art of living joyfully.

Born in Sydney and proudly Australian, I later moved to Paris to train as a pastry chef. It was there that my creative sensibility was shaped in the world of haute pâtisserie, a realm where precision, refinement, and indulgence are everything.

Footwear wasn’t a coincidence. It was the original dream. Pâtisserie came first, but the passion for shoes was there long before.

In 2021, life presented me with a crossroads. I took a detour, and that road led me to footwear, something I had always dreamed of creating. The artistry once expressed in delicate pastries found its next form in designing shoes, creations that carry the same devotion to beauty, detail, and refinement, now crafted in Italy by skilled artisans.

Each pair of shoes is created with that feeling in mind: life’s little luxuries turned into something lasting. Like a perfect pastry, they’re made from a few exceptional ingredients: exquisite materials, precise craftsmanship, and nothing superfluous.

MadCharlotte is sensual, playful, and refined. It celebrates women who live with elegance, freedom, and pleasure on their own terms. In the end, this is why I created MadCharlotte, for the pleasure of that woman, the one who lives life her own way. Something deliciously special, made just for her.

Avec amour,
