About Us

Producing Penn

Every Penn shoe begins with intention. What starts as a late-night sketch evolves through a meticulous design process, grounded in timeless aesthetics and modern wearability.
Once refined, each concept is entrusted to master shoemakers who bring it to life, shaping every pair around a custom last to achieve a silhouette that feels as good as it looks. From the first pencil stroke to the final finish, the process honours the design’s original spirit and brings soul to every step.

The Lux Leather

We source our leather from Europe’s most esteemed tanneries, places where tradition, craftsmanship, and conscience meet. Each hide is hand-selected for its natural beauty, then shaped with precision by artisans who understand the quiet power of material done well. The result is leather that doesn’t just look luxurious, it wears beautifully, softens with time, and reflects our commitment to quality without compromise.

The Art of the Shoe

Our philosophy is a synthesis of timeless elegance and uncompromising quality. Every Penn shoe embodies this, blending a refined aesthetic with superior materials. In collaboration with skilled artisans, we merge honoured techniques with modern innovation to perfect every detail. From the selection of luxury European leather to the final stitch, our commitment to excellence ensures each pair is a durable, stylish testament to true craftsmanship.

The Penn Story

Penn was born from a desire for something more. As a busy mother of two, Melbourne founder Meegan Addison sought to bridge the gap between style and practicality, envisioning a shoe that was both versatile and beautiful. Her journey led her to skilled shoe developers in 2022, where a commitment to quality became the brand's cornerstone.
In overseeing the production, Meegan discovered that Penn was being crafted with the same exceptional materials and methods as top global luxury brands. This revelation defined the brand's purpose: to offer this uncompromising quality at a more accessible price point.

Proudly Australian-owned and designed, Penn is infused with personal significance, its name is a loving combination of her children's names. It is a brand built on a foundation of timeless style, superior craftsmanship, and a deep passion for sharing accessible luxury with women everywhere.
