Frequently Asked Questions

What is Clara Barcelo?

Clara Barcelo is not just a shoe brand—it’s a statement. A celebration of authenticity, slow fashion, and artisanal craftsmanship. Born in Argentina, our shoes are handcrafted in small batches, embracing the beauty of limited-edition designs. No mass production, no fast fashion—just thoughtfully made footwear that tells a story.

Behind the brand is Clara Barcelo, a designer with an unshakable passion for craftsmanship and creativity.  Clara’s journey began with a love for quality, tradition, and the artistry of handmade footwear. Her designs fuse timeless elegance with a rebellious, modern spirit, making every pair a true expression of individuality.

Every pair is designed for comfort, character, and timeless style, using high-quality materials sourced responsibly. Whether it’s the softest leather, bold textures, or hand-finished details, each shoe reflects the soul of its maker.

We believe in fashion that lasts—made to be worn, loved, and passed down. Welcome to Clara Barcelo—where every step is an expression of individuality.
