A self taught designer, Bridget Brown has defied the odds and created a sustainable international lifestyle brand inspired by the look and feel of the Caribbean. Divinely inspired by nature and always channeling in the moment, Bridget designs from a spiritually sexy space where women's feet come alive in the simplistic brilliance of each style. Drawing from her culture and internal source of inspiration, Bridget's philosophy is that her sandals are ornaments for the feet which can serve as a conversation piece.

Bridget Sandals have been described as "wearable desserts" and things of beauty so perfect they should be "hanging on a gallery wall or from a socialite's ear lobe". Starting her design journey in 1980, by 1982 Bridget was learning about making sandals until she finally opened Bridget Sandals in 1987, by then creating original designs for the young company's fashionable customers who not only returned for new styles but told two friends. Twenty years later, the Bridget Sandals brand has grown to be one of the most recognized fashion brands from the Caribbean with a fiercely loyal client base throughout the region and wherever fashionable Caribbean women live. The brand's headquarters is located at 1 Abbeydale Road in Kingston, Jamaica and houses both the retail store and the factory where the staff of nine skillfully hand crafts the line of all leather ladies footwear and accessories. The Bridget Sandals line is elegantly simple ranging from leather slingbacks and ankle wrap thongs to ornamental flip flops. Her delicate detailing is often inspired by nature with floral or leaf-like embellishments available in many colours particularly metallics and colours inspired by the Caribbean. The line boasts an eclectic mix of materials from snakeskin and nappa leather to imported fabrics which Bridget sources primarily from Europe, South America and the US. Bridget Sandals has established itself as an internationally competitive brand offering quality craftsmanship, comfort and cutting edge designs for the discerning shopper. The line has been featured in numerous fashion shows including all of the Caribbean Fashion Week events and in media from Elle, Vogue, Footwear News and Caribbean Beat Magazines to the Jamaican Observer and Gleaner. The limited network of boutique distribution from the Caribbean to the US, includes top retail stores in St. Lucia, Barbados and the United States where the timeless styles from Bridget Sandals are hot imports. |
