Who We Are

CREATED WITH CARE, CHAOS & HARMONY SHOES ARE DISTINCTLY DESIGNED TO ELEVATE YOUR STYLE.

In 2006, Chaos & Harmony’s creative director Rebecca Anderson and her husband sold everything they owned, including their house, and moved to Italy so Rebecca could learn to design shoes at the Instituo Europeo di Design in Rome. She was taught by tutors who’d worked at Valentino and Fendi, among others, and learned how to infuse her lifelong love of texture, materials and leathers into comfortable, high-quality, hand-made shoes.

Twelve months later they returned to Mount Maunganui, New Zealand and created Chaos & Harmony - a market-leading, boutique shoe brand and company. Rebecca wanted a name that would inspire creativity, growth and reflect life, but also describe the brand’s aesthetic. The name Chaos & Harmony reflects our love of textures to create depth – it brings about a curious contradiction. It also subtly sums up a woman’s world. As a company, we’re all about efficiency and focus on clear communication, leadership and fresh ideas.

When we design shoes at Chaos & Harmony, we like each pair to be standalone, we think about form, function and how your shoes will add to your style. We pay attention to every detail and want your shoes to make you feel good, taking you though life events as well as the day to day.

All our shoes are proudly made in China, we have worked with our factory for over ten years. Our shoes are handmade and must meet our design and quality benchmarks, using products that are forgiving on your feet through factories with ethical practices.
