What Mallet is known for
London footwear label founded in 2015 by Tommy Mallet and Evren Ozkarakasli, making leather trainers with elevated materials at accessible prices; styles are named after London streets and stocked by Selfridges, Harrods and Saks Fifth Avenue.
Mallet London was founded in 2015 by Tommy Mallet, a reality-TV personality who wanted a shoe he loved but couldn't afford and decided to make an affordable alternative himself, and Evren Ozkarakasli, who grew up inside his family's London textile manufacturing business. The brand's trainers use leather and premium materials at a lower price point than traditional luxury sneaker houses, and its silhouettes are named after London streets and neighbourhoods. Mallet has built distribution through major department stores and multi-brand retailers, with product carried by Selfridges, Harrods, Nordstrom and Saks Fifth Avenue, and coverage has noted early recognition including a Forbes 30 Under 30 listing for Tommy Mallet. The company operates primarily as a direct-to-consumer and wholesale footwear label rather than a single physical storefront.
