ALLYSA PAYNE BEVERLY HILLS

Allysa grew up in Southern Oregon, where she loved the outdoors and spent her time running in the flower fields, accompanied by her Labrador, Duke. Catching frogs and riding her pony, Mickey. Later on, sketching shoes inspired by all the things she loved about nature. Even as a child her innate sense of style led naturally to many different artistic outlets... After high school, she worked as a stylist, to save enough money to venture out into the world, and travel the globe. With international cities and villages as her classroom, she gained an appreciation for the richness of cultural diversity, that would later on, be reflected in her designs. While standing in a Beverly Hills, luxury retailer, she found herself frustrated with the lack of options for a comfortable, beautiful pair of ballerina flats. Being a self proclaimed "heel girl" she decided it was time to finally design her own.
