This Nashville-based line of handmade, high-quality leather shoes and accessories was created by Patrick Woodyard in 2011 after the co-founder and CEO took a development job in Peru. Patrick was inspired by the talented shoemakers he met in the area and decided to use Nisolo as a platform to showcase their designs. Needing a partner with fashion industry experience, Patrick partnered with Zoe Cleary who quit her job with a major fashion label in New York and joined forces with Patrick as his co-founder and VP of Design. Nisolo prioritizes ethical production and exquisite quality above all else and each shoe has a classic style that is sophisticated and timeless. Five years after the brand was born, Nisolo now sustains the jobs of over 50 employees. From the manufacturing to the consumer, Patrick and Zoe ensure that each step of the process results in an ethically made product that is beautiful and long lasting.
