Ancient Greek SandalsLilea Mules

Ancient Greek Sandals is a luxury footwear brand founded in 2012 by Christina Martini and Nikolas Minoglou, who connected over their shared love of Hellenic art and culture. The brand elevates traditional Greek tourist sandals through premium materials and superior craftsmanship, creating handmade footwear using techniques that have existed for centuries. Inspired by ancient mythology where gods had their sandals crafted by a gifted sandal maker on Crete, each pair features the brand's signature champagne-colored wing buckle referencing Hermes' flying sandals. Made locally by skilled Greek artisans using chemical-free natural leather, the sandals age beautifully with wear and feature raw edges joined with platinum rivets. The brand gained international recognition before achieving success in Greece, with celebrity endorsements from stars like Rihanna, Emma Watson, and Sarah Jessica Parker. Now expanding beyond footwear into bags and homewares, Ancient Greek Sandals maintains its commitment to authentic Greek craftsmanship.
