ABOUT VANDRÉLAAR
Designed in Amsterdam. Handmade in Portugal.
OUR FOUNDER
After a decade working as a footwear designer and developer for renowned brands like Alexander McQueen and Lacoste, among others, Victoria André-Van de Laar founded Vandrélaar with the clear objective of merging timeless design with exceptional craftsmanship. An anagram of her name, Victoria draws upon her Belgian heritage and global upbringing to inspire the brand’s philosophy - with design, fit and quality at the forefront of each collection.
HANDCRAFTED IN PORTUGAL
Craftsmanship and material integrity are central to our work, from sourcing to production. All materials and components are hand-selected in-house from trusted European suppliers in Portugal, Italy, and Spain.
Our footwear is made in small, family-run factories in Portugal, working under strict EU regulations that ensure high standards of workmanship, responsible working conditions, and regulated waste management.
Collections are produced in limited quantities to minimise excess, and all orders are delivered using plastic-free packaging.
DESIGNED TO LAST
Our footwear is designed to become long-term pieces in a modern woman’s wardrobe. Each style is developed with longevity in mind, prioritising proportion, comfort, and materials selected for durability and everyday wear.
In an industry driven by trend cycles and disposability, we choose a slower approach: intentional design, small production runs, and products made to be worn often and loved for years.
