Achilles Ion Gabriel introduces his new collection of footwear with clean, streamlined designs that offer a contemporary twist on classic shapes. A strong focus has been given on high quality hand-manufacturing and specially selected leathers. It becomes instantly clear from his creations why Achilles considers himself a shoemaker rather than merely a shoe designer. The Finnish-born craftsman has given his own name to the line, launched in 2013. Beyond his 5-year training specialising in footwear, 28 year old Achilles brings a unique heritage (Swedish and Russian roots, and the influence of his mother, a gravestone sculptor) to creations with a strong appeal.

Achilles shares his time between Paris, where the company is based, and Portugal and Spain, where his shoes are manufactured in close collaboration with local tanners and manufacturers. From the top to the bottom of the shoe, everything is crafted entirely by hand.
