ประวัติ
Percy Steinhart founded the company in 1993 in Palm Beach, Florida, seeking to revive the classic velvet slipper for both formal and casual use. Historically, these shoes were restricted to indoor evening wear. Stubbs & Wootton transitioned the silhouette into a versatile fashion staple. The brand gained cultural significance through its association with American high society and its influence on the resurgence of the preppy aesthetic in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.
