About Us

Garces Bottier is a Colombian women's footwear brand, created by the Garces sisters with the mission of elevating women with much more than just a pair of heels.

A dream come true in 2017, it revived the family shoe factory, providing work for local skilled shoemakers. Timelessness, playfulness as a design element, and the comfort that only a true Bottier knows how to bring to their works of art define this brand, which uses biodegradable materials. With a presence in Colombia's most exclusive boutiques, Garces Bottier is growing steadily, a significant project committed to expanding while honoring its heritage.

The story begins in 1979 in Bucaramanga with grandma Herminia, a mother with four kids to maintain. With her couture skills she started to sew modest shoes, without ever imagining that this craft would awaken a family vocation.

With the need to finance his studies, his son Jorge joined the business and rapidly transformed the small entrepreneurship into a big shoe factory. This is how the shoemakers' family was born.

Visiting their father's factory daily, the Garces sisters grew up with the savoir faire of a shoemaker. Decades after its closure, the entrepreneurs decided to revive this family business along with the launch of their firm.  Yenny, the designer, creates authentic pieces in natural leather from her hometown. 

MANIFESTO

Garces Bottier honors craft in a world where machines can do almost anything and celebrates what technology will never be able to provide: 
¨Hands that beat¨ 

TIMELESSNESS

We manufacture products that do not follow the trends of the moment. They are created to stay current under an inspiration.

RESPONSABILITY

A zero waste philosophy distinguishes us. The earrings and shoe decorations are made with the leather scraps from each collection, seeking circularity. We use natural materials and local suppliers. Our collaborators are also experienced local shoemakers.

INNOVATION AND DESIGN

All Our collections are conceptualized and created based on an inspiration that determines the colors, shapes, and details of each of our designs. We love to bring statement pieces into the universe of our clients.

COMFORT

We do not only think about the aesthetics of each of our products. We make pieces that feel as comfortable as a second skin.
