Calzaturificio Carmens

Calzaturificio Carmens was founded in 1966 in Galzignano Terme (Padova) and entered the women’s footwear market with a B2B approach for international customers. It imparted the unique Italian manufacturing heritage through its quality products. In 2012, the company launched the private label Carmens, venturing into the B2C market. Today, Calzaturificio Carmens stands as a multinational company where research and organization go at the same pace to meet customer expectations with contemporary products. The design, prototyping, and customization process come to life in Galzignano Terme thanks to the know-how of our craftsmen. Production takes place in Italy and through plants located in Romania, Ethiopia, and Bangladesh. To guarantee high-quality standards, all the factories work in synergy with the headquarter. Year after year, we aim to improve the quality of our shoes.
