Our Story

Founded in 2014, Vintage Artisan is dedicated to creating artisanal luxury footwear using raw materials and genuine leather. Based in the heart of huarache making, Michoacán, Mexico, we work with generational weavers who have honed their craft through centuries of tradition.

Our Craft

Our artisans are masters of their trade, allowing us to produce huaraches that lead industry trends. We were the first to introduce Suede huaraches and developed the innovative “stacked” sole, inspired by the Vibram sole. This sole combines two types of rubber for an elevated and durable design, now an industry standard. In 2015, Vintage Artisan took a bold step in redefining the traditional huarache by introducing the King Loafer—a fusion of modern design and artisanal craftsmanship. A loafer-style silhouette with six leather cords intricately woven through the shoe.

Our Mission

We aim to blend timeless craftsmanship with modern design, creating footwear that embodies both elegance and comfort. By partnering with skilled weavers, we ensure each pair of huaraches is a testament to quality and tradition.
