A Little Joyasol Love from Beauty News NYC

We’ll admit it, we love getting a little recognition every now and then. 

Joyasol was recently featured in Beauty News NYC, highlighting our approach to timeless footwear, European craftsmanship and modern, wearable design.

The feature, “Joyasol: Timeless Artisanal Footwear in Modern Styles,” shares the story behind our California-designed, European-made shoes and our belief that women shouldn’t have to choose between style, quality and comfort.

California Design Meets European Craftsmanship

Every Joyasol collection begins in California and is brought to life by skilled artisans in Europe, with many of our shoes handcrafted in Portugal.

Portugal has a long history of exceptional shoemaking, and working with experienced makers allows us to focus on the details that matter: beautiful materials, thoughtful construction, lasting comfort and shoes designed to be worn far beyond a single season.

Beauty News NYC also highlighted our commitment to small-batch production and creating footwear meant to last, values that have been part of Joyasol from the beginning. Read more about our shoemaking here.

A Fall Favorite: The Elise Woven Flat

We were especially excited to see the Elise Woven Flat selected as a Fall 2026 favorite.

Handwoven in Spain and handcrafted into the finished shoe in Portugal, the Elise brings together traditional European craftsmanship with an easy, modern silhouette. Designed to transition effortlessly from workdays to weekends and travel, it’s exactly the kind of versatile shoe we believe deserves a place in a thoughtfully curated wardrobe.

Recognition like this means a lot to an independent brand like ours. Joyasol was created around a simple idea: beautiful shoes should feel as good as they look. We’re grateful to see that philosophy resonating beyond our own community.
