The Brand

For Australian footwear designer Francesca Kouwenhoven, it has become a personal pursuit to create a shoe brand focused on inclusion. A beautifully crafted & stylish footwear collection in sizes no other brands give a shit about. A culmination of a lifelong struggle to find fashionable and feminine footwear to fit her size 12 feet, together with a strong social awareness of how important fashion is on an individual level to express one’s true self, Bohobo was born in 2021.

Merging an environmental and social justice background with a love of chic, minimalist elegance, Francesca is committed to ensure the design ethos behind every item crafted at Bohobo puts timelessness at the fore – creating pieces that can be enjoyed season after season.

Working closely with our manufacturers to create style pieces that you cannot get anywhere else in the world, Bohobo footwear is put through an extremely rigorous design and testing process. We never settle for almost!

We are excited to continue to be a part of a much needed change towards a more inclusive fashion world.

TAKING RESPONSIBILITY

We are a business, but we are comprised of people, and like you we are affected by the health and wellbeing of our world.

Our path to sustainability is a work in progress. As we move through our third year of operations, our short and long term goals include seeking out of new partnerships and working with craftspeople in local communities. Eliminating the use of plastics and implementing the use of more recycled and renewable materials wherever we can.

Details
