Meet Rachel

Founded in 2008 by designer Rachel Matthews, the brand began with a simple idea- to create beautiful, timeless shoes that don’t just look good—they feel good too. What started as bespoke bridal designs made in a garden workshop has grown into a cult favourite for women seeking elegant shoes with a unique twist. Today, the collection goes beyond bridal, offering elegant occasion shoes, trainers and everyday styles, all designed to elevate the everyday with that signature Rachel Simpson touch.

With over 25 years of experience designing footwear and a passion for craftsmanship, Rachel brings together artisan craftsmanship, commercial know-how and a real understanding of how women actually wear their shoes. Made using beautiful leathers and suedes with natural leather linings, every pair is created with an uncompromising commitment to comfort, fit and enduring style- because true luxury isn’t just about how something looks, it’s how it makes you feel.
