Our Story

Designed on a woman's foot. Built for a woman's life.

Lili Alberti started with her own foot. Not a mannequin, not a 
standard last. Her foot. She spent years studying how a woman 
actually moves, where pressure builds, where heat collects, where 
a shoe fails the body that wears it.

The result is a shoe that does not fight you.

The leathers come from Italy and France. Lili selects them 
personally. She dyes them herself using pigments from flowers, 
colors that cannot be reproduced at a factory. The lining is soft 
enough to wear without socks. The insole adapts to your foot over 
time. The sole is treated so heat does not build and skin does not 
suffer.

There is no glue that harms. No material that does not belong.

The By Lili Couture collection is made in France. Each pair is 
finished by hand. Some have Swarovski accents. All of them take 
a long time to make.

Lili Cardi has been doing this since before Los Angeles. The brand 
arrived here in 2019. The approach did not change.

These are not shoes for every occasion. They are shoes for women 
who have stopped settling.
