According to the Tapestry-owned luxury footwear brand, its new men’s line is now available to shop on stuartweitzman.com, in select Stuart Weitzman boutiques in New York and Costa Mesa, and in select retailers including Saks, Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, Nordstrom and Level Shoes Dubai.
First seen by FN at the brand’s Milan Fashion Week presentation in September, Stuart Weitzman made a bigger splash for its new men’s collection during January’s Milan Men’s Fashion Week event, which included an appearance by Brooklyn Beckham.
The men’s collection is divided into three lines — Premiere, Club and Resort, designed to offer shoes for all occasions crafted by artisans in Italy.
Club is considered Stuart Weitzman’s everyday line and features loafers, oxfords and derbies, while Premiere is designed for special occasions and includes embellished loafers and other dress shoe models in brushed leather and velvet. As for Resort, this line is designed for getaway trips with shoe styles ranging from sandals to laid-back moccasins.
Giorgio Sarné, chief executive officer and brand president of Stuart Weitzman, told FN that he is “thrilled” that the men’s launch is finally here.
“After years of honing our craft in women’s footwear and expanding our fleet of stores and wholesale retail partners globally, I am excited to now welcome stylish men into the brand’s world,” Sarné said. “We applied the same signature polish, sophistication, comfort and craftsmanship we are known for to this collection, and it is my hope that men everywhere will come into our stores and wholesale retail partners to experience it for themselves.”
The brand will celebrate the launch in two boutiques, at South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa, Calif. on Saturday, April 27, and at Hudson Yards in New York City on Tuesday, April 30. The events will feature cocktails, light bites and music, the company said. Kenneth Baldwin, manager of men’s and women’s wholesale in the Americas, will make remarks at the South Coast Plaza event while Jonathan Lelonek, senior vice president of global wholesale, will speak at Hudson Yards.
This launch comes after Tapestry reported in February that Stuart Weitzman’s top-line results in the second quarter remained “pressured” amid several headwinds. However, Tapestry Inc. chief executive officer Joanne Crevoiserat told analysts in February that the brand saw some wins in the quarter including growth in its core boot classification, fueled by gains in the Soho and 5050 families. The shoe brand also continued to build out its assortment in Q2 with more seasonless casual styles, including loafers and ballet flats.
