The distinctive hand-braided leather footwear of MRTNZ Souliers Martinez has attracted $100K in new capital. The brand, founded by Julien Martinez in 2017, is built on a unique blend of Spanish artisanal craftsmanship and Parisian design sensibilities.
Martinez's journey began with the discovery of a local hand-braiding technique in Alicante in 2013, which he seamlessly integrated into his creations. Each pair of shoes, from boots to pumps, is assembled and finished in Spain, combining comfort with bold shapes that pay homage to Spanish elegance and the Mediterranean landscape.
