About
LACADE
This is the beginning of a story.
In Autumn 2025, its first chapter quietly unfolds.
The inspiration comes from the things designer Laurence Dacade holds most dear—the presence and posture of people moving through the city, evolving lifestyles, and above all,her deep affection for Japan.
These fragments are gathered through a European sensibility, and woven together with Japanese craftsmanship and aesthetics.
Each pair of shoes is made in Japan.
They are timeless expressions where French chic and the quiet beauty of Japan merge.
Rooted in daily life, yet drawing out the innate individuality and elegance of the wearer.
Wearing these shoes is like putting on makeup—they gently cast light on the inner glow of those who wear them.
Masculine and virginal.
Sporty and elegant.
A harmony of opposing elements—shoes made for living freely in the present.
At the heart of LACADE lies a childhood memory.
A Japanese mask given to Laurence by her parents:a white-painted face, black hair, red lips—the lingering colors of Kabuki and Noh（Japanese traditional performing arts）, where stillness meets strength.
This memory continues to breathe within her, a quiet origin of creativity.
LACADE is a beginning. A story that begins the moment you choose to wear it.
