The house of KARL LAGERFELD shares the iconic vision and design aesthetic of its founder, Karl Lagerfeld, fused with a contemporary, forward-looking spirit.
The brand celebrates his colossal legacy and breathes his passion, intuition and inexhaustible creativity into the core of its DNA.
Since Fall 2017 Overland Shoes has designed and distributed Karl Lagerfeld shoes for men and women in Europe, Middle East and Asia, adopting The signature KARL LAGERFELD aesthetic that combines Parisian classics with a rock-chic attitude.
Established in 1876 by George Henry Bass, G.H.BASS began with a man on a simple mission -“To make the best possible shoe for the purpose for which it was intended.” In 1936, the brand put a stylish spin on a Norwegian farm shoe designed for “loafing in the field,” and playfully dubbed them Weejuns –introducing the world’s very first penny loafer.
Since 2014, Overland Shoes have designed, marketed and distributed G.H.BASS’ iconic footwear across Europe Asia and Africa using the same time-honoured handmade techniques pioneered in 1936.
Starting Spring 2023 Overland Shoes will be responsible for the design, marketing and sales of footwear for the iconic Parisian label Sonia Rykiel founded in Saint-Germain-Des-Prés by Sonia Rykiel in 1968.
Following Sonia Rykiel’s signature of freedom, audacity and self-confidence, the range will take inspiration from its deep French heritage.
