If there is one brand of footwear and accessories that has really made a name for itself is definitely Luis Onofre. Today, it is a well known brand in many countries such as the US, Canada, Israel, Germany, Italy, France, Portugal, and many more. Of course, it was not always this big of a brand as it also went through its own very humble beginnings as a small company grown big.

The founder of the company was the man himself mister Onofre although it was not really him who started the whole idea. The original business was actually started by his grandmother sometime in the late thirties. It was only in the year 1990 that he decided to take the business to a whole new level by evolving it into the known brand that most people know of now.

In the year 1999, the brand launched its first collection which made it pretty big in a lot of countries. The first line was presented in Madrid ModaCalzado and also in Barcelona Fashion Cafe. In 2001, another collection was launched but this time in a Portuguese Fashion show in Paris Printemps. This 2001 Summer Collection was presented in this show where the brand launched a special edition footwear collection.

After that, the year 2003 was a big year for this company wherein they showcased a big collection in the Micam fair in Italy. In fact, this lead them to always showcase new collections in this location every year. In 2009, more and more collections were made from the production and development team. In fact, a lot of other footwear brands were in partnership with this brand. Some of them include Jimmy Choo, Anna dello Russo, Isabel Marant, and Marni.

As the company reached the year 2010, this company was able to make its first online store. However, the store was only available in Spain, Netherlands, and Portugal. Eventually, this company was invited to the well known fashion exhibit which is the Swarovski Boulevard fashion show for a new collection.

Sometime in 2012, they were able to receive an award for the Best Design Accessories given by the Portugal Fashion Awards. This award was able to make the brand really skyrocket and escalate its fame. In fact, a lot of very famous people such as Paris Hilton and Michelle Obama were very much interested in wearing shoes from the collection.

Another interesting year for the company was in 2014 when the first full store opened up in Lisbon. A medal was also awarded to the company for its vast contribution to the city. The award was presented by the mayor of Lisbon himself which was considered a big honor for the brand image of the company.

Today, the company already has its full fledged online store that is available to all countries worldwide which was launched in 2016. The year 2017 was also saw an interesting development when they opened up a full store in a city called Porto. As one can see, they still have a lot of plans for more expansions which means that there will definitely be new stores popping up in different countries and cities.
