Laugh It Off — The Sneaker That Smiles Back
Every Brand Has an Origin Story. Ours Just Happens to Grin.
When the first samples of the Laugh It Off sneaker landed, the plan was clear: the Clara Barcelo “CB” monogram placed proudly on the side, elegant and upright. Only one detail went sideways—literally. The logo was rotated 90 degrees. At first, the team gasped. But then, they laughed. The “B” became bright eyes, the “C” curved into a smile. Suddenly, the sneaker looked like it was happy to see you.
Most brands would call it an error. Clara Barcelo called it destiny. Not a bug, a feature. And with that, the Laugh It Off sneaker was born: a shoe that doesn’t just carry you forward, but does it with wit, charm, and a wink.
A Smile Woven into Craftsmanship
Playfulness only matters if it’s backed by substance. Behind the grin lies Clara Barcelo’s signature DNA:
- Premium Suede and Leather: Crafted in small batches for quality and longevity.
- Supportive Cup Sole: Lightweight yet durable for hours on your feet.
- Hidden Teardrop Pad: A comfort innovation that softens every step.
- Handcrafted Details: True handcrafted leather sneakers Argentina is known for.
It’s this balance—joy on the surface, rigor underneath—that makes Laugh It Off not just a sneaker but a mood you can wear.
Why This Sneaker Feels Different
Fast fashion churns out sneakers meant to be seen once and forgotten. Clara Barcelo builds for the long run—literally and figuratively. In Buenos Aires, where cobblestones test every sole and women live their lives on foot, shoes must be both stylish and durable. That’s why Clara insists on premium leather sneakers for women that only get better with age: softening, shaping, and carrying your story step after step.
These aren’t accessories. They’re companions.
The Colorways: Three Personalities, Same Smile
-
Tan: Warm tan with leopard-print details. Vintage athletic energy that pairs as easily with denim and trenches as with camel coats and tailored trousers.
-
Green: Shimmering olive with subtle metallic sheen. Works as a “power neutral” that complements utility pants, slip dresses, or a travel capsule wardrobe.
-
Pink: Two-tone suede with berry accents. The extrovert of the trio—playful, bold, and artistic. Perfect with tonal knits, summer whites, or tailored shorts.
Whether you’re in the mood for earthy, modern, or vibrant, the Laugh It Off sneaker adapts without losing its sense of humor.
Style It Your Way: Outfit Formulas
Creative-Office Uniform: Pleated trousers, oversized oxford, and structured tote. Let the sneaker lighten the polish.
Dress, But Easier: Slip dress, cropped denim jacket, sheer socks. Ankle shows, proportions click.
Sporty-Femme Balance: Midi skirt, boxy crewneck, baseball cap. The sneaker grounds the movement.
Denim Three Ways
- Straight crop + white tee + trench
- Wide-leg + fitted knit
- Dark bootcut + boyish button-down
Soft Suiting: Knit tank, matching cardigan, knit pants. Travel-day comfort with meeting-day credibility.
Monochrome with a Twist: All ivory or all charcoal. Let the sneaker be the exclamation point.
Pro Tips for Getting It Right
-
Socks: Ribbed cotton by day, sheer trouser socks for dressier looks, textured crews for fun. Match sock value to pant hem.
Laces: Swap to waxed cotton for polish, tonal flats for editorial minimalism. - Proportions: Oversized up top? Keep bottoms slim. Wide pants? Tuck or crop your top.
- Hems: Aim for ankle-bone visibility or let fabric skim the sneaker’s top line—never puddle.
- Accessories: Keep jewelry minimal; let the smiley monogram be the charm.
Where It Shines
- Weekend Adventures: Farmers’ markets, brunches, road trips—shoes that can handle detours.
- Creative Workplaces: Striking enough to spark conversation, comfortable enough for long hours.
- Social Outings: Rooftop hangs, gallery nights, or casual dinners—playful but never try-hard.
- Travel Days: Pack one sneaker, style it three ways. Wardrobe glue for capsule packing.
This versatility is why Laugh It Off ranks among the best women’s leather sneakers—a single pair that spans multiple lives in one week.
The Clara Barcelo Ethos Behind the Smile
Clara’s studio in San Isidro, Buenos Aires, is where artistry meets resilience. Inspired by cobbled streets, tango rhythms, and Argentina’s heritage of craftsmanship, she designs shoes that carry humor and heart alongside function.
- Slow Fashion: A rebellion against disposability.
- Durability: Built for cities walked, not just cities admired.
-
Individuality: Designer Argentinian leather sneakers that celebrate personal expression.
So yes, the logo flipped by accident. But Clara saw the bigger truth: joy belongs in serious design.
