Company Background

Anyi Lu: I started my company about 5 years ago, and stemmed from the idea of fit and style. I have spent many years studying fashion, and tailoring my brand to be on trend but never too trendy that the shoe will go out of style.

What inspires your designs?

Anyi Lu: I am inspired by the everyday working woman who desires a shoe that looks good and feels great. My shoes are designed for looking and doing, because style should not have to be sacrificed.

What accessory trends do you see being popular for the summer?

Anyi Lu: I see lots of bright colors making big impacts, highlighted by subtle neutrals. Mixing and matching this season is very popular, but you don’t want to take it too overboard!

Any tips on saving money on your wardrobe?

Anyi Lu: Invest in pieces that are made well that will last. Pieces like this may seem expensive, but you will get more wear out of them, and will not have to replace them like a bargain brand.
