About this product
Carel is a Parisian footwear house founded in 1952 by Georges and Rosa Carel, celebrated for redefining French style through shoes that balance elegance, comfort, and freedom of movement. From its iconic low "trotteur" heel to timeless Mary Jane silhouettes like the Kina, the Maison has remained a symbol of joyful, feminine design for more than seventy years. Crafted in Italy and rooted in exceptional savoir-faire, Carel continues to reinterpret its heritage with vibrant colors, distinctive details, and contemporary collaborations. Beloved by generations of women, the brand embodies an effortless Parisian spirit where timeless craftsmanship meets modern style. Inspired by the maison's early archives, the Kina Mary Jane is Carel's signature silhouette, celebrated for its vintage-inspired elegance and exceptional comfort. This contemporary interpretation pairs delicate black mesh with supple leather trim to create a light, refined look while maintaining the timeless character of the original design. Three adjustable straps provide a secure, personalized fit across the foot, while the signature 4 cm "trotteur" heel offers everyday comfort without compromising sophistication. Finished with Carel's iconic logo buckles and a supple leather sole, the Kina remains an enduring expression of Parisian style that transitions effortlessly from day to evening.
