Crime London

It all started in London when the Kistermann sisters were going through their university studies. Inspired by the vibes and sounds of the underground districts found throughout the city, they decided to create a shoe brand that emphasizes the alternative and edgy atmosphere of Camden Town, Shoreditch and Brick Lane. Each is what breathed life into Crime London’s different line of shoe collections that epitomize the image of East London.

The Kistermann sisters find even more inspiration where the past lives again. They look at what is old and examine how it has timeless value. Left to the imagination of vintage ideas, they design Crime London high-tops and sneakers for women like you.

Crime London is a young brand that works with the sensations of "groove." The sisters are always in step with the current rhythm and trends of the time and are not a bit concerned about being the cool kids on the block. They follow their style and build shoes that give any outfit the boost of audacity it needs. Crime London is a dynamic brand that enhances and accents a casual yet edgy lifestyle.

From Crime London sneakers with sequins to all-black high-tops, the brand reaches consumers throughout the world, including the U.S., Japan, Korea, Canada and several Middle Eastern countries. In June 2014, the sisters opened their first mono-brand store in Ibiza, which is the perfect area to reflect the mood of Crime London.

Crime London operates out of modern factories in Italy and Indonesia that guarantee top production quality. Their artisans deliver handcrafted techniques that they blend with the industrial process. This helps preserve traditional methods of shoemaking that are often replaced by machines and technology. Each factory gives attention to the individuality of each shoe and focuses on detail — which can only be found with handmade products.

The shoe brand also considers sustainable practices and uses natural materials and dyes as much as possible. They implement naturally-derived pigments that aren’t as harmful to the environment and prevent toxic chemicals from entering waterways. Environmentally-friendly and stylish? Yes, please!
