Dieppa Restrepo; Not Your Father's Menswear

Ladies who thrive on out-of-the-box style, this one is for you!

The Colombian duo Andrea Vargas-Dieppa and Elisa Restrepo are the fashion visionaries responsible for the elegant yet casual unisex footwear known as Dieppa Restrepo.


Their signature designs are full of unique additions to the classical tuxedo-style worn by Sammy Davis Jr., Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and other icons of the past. With more than 15 colors ranging from salmon pink to electric purple and multiple leather combinations, Dieppa Restrepo has transformed menswear into a fashion staple for the color-friendly, urban woman; clearly not for the shy at heart!

Two Colombian natives, Andrea from Barranquilla and Elisa from Medellin, were by fate united in New York City by one shared dream. The two then set out to launch their gentlemen-inspired footwear collection in May 2008.

The unique style of the line stems from each of the girls entrance into the fashion world. Andrea, a former graphic designer, had her start as an art director for Lloyd & Co., while Elisa recalls the boldness of Parisian fashion as her inspiration.


And ladies, let’s be clear about one thing, we are not talking about any ordinary type of shoe; Dieppa Restrepo illustrates bohemian chic, with just the right touch of contemporary-urban style, perfect for the fashion iconoclast of today. And did we mention there are no high heels involved?

Dieppa Restrepo is a walking contradiction… no pun intended. Playful custom lace-up options in classic patent leather shoes. Timeless but fresh, cozy with a no-nonsense attitude. The perfect combination for your office attire but chic enough to wear them with a short skirt; manly enough to show who wears the pants, but graceful enough to do it with style.
And we’re pretty sure the Rat Pack would have enjoyed some color in their ensembles.
