Porsche
Design is now into shoes. The German design group has announced an extension of
its licensing partnership with German leather goods manufacturer Müller &
Meirer to make high-quality men's shoes. The first collection under the Porsche
Design brand will debut in 2010.
The pair
had previously enjoyed a successful partnership, producing soft luggage bags,
with the "French Classic" business series (as shown in pictures) in 2005 receiving accolades for
innovative leather design.
Founded by
Heinrich Müller in 1952, Müller & Meirer started as a small leather goods
factory and over time, established itself as a leading German manufacturer of
small leather goods. In the mid-1990s, the company made its license business a
core aspect of the company’s direction and policy.
