It was wonderful to begin rediscovering the little pleasures of travel again—the joy of a meandering walk, the spontaneity of turning down a side street, and the thrill of stumbling upon a pattern or color palette that sparks ideas for a future design. Travel, and connecting with people across cultures, is as much a part of the DNA of Le Mondeur as our shoes. Each trip reminds us that inspiration is everywhere—hidden in architecture, art, food, and conversation—and these experiences weave their way into every collection we create.
