Our Story
Commune Wear was born out of a desire to create shoes that effortlessly blend timeless style with everyday comfort. Founded in 2019 on principles of thoughtful craftsmanship and a deep respect for quality materials, our brand is dedicated to providing footwear that not only looks good but feels good too.
It all started when our founder, working in real estate development in Myanmar, unexpectedly met a group of skilled second-generation artisans during a trip. This chance encounter inspired a vision: to create shoes that could offer comfort amid the demands of travel and work. From that spark, Commune Wear was born—a brand built on collaboration with local communities and a shared commitment to quality.
As we grew, challenges like the pandemic and political upheaval in Myanmar pushed us to pivot, bringing Commune Wear to Singapore to support our team in South East Asia during uncertain times. This journey has shaped us into a brand that values intentional design, thoughtful craftsmanship, and a commitment to slow fashion.
What sets us apart is our dedication to creating shoes that our customers truly love before they even make a purchase. We focus on simplicity, ensuring that our designs are versatile and enduring, rather than chasing fleeting trends. Each pair is meticulously handcrafted by skilled artisans, using buttery-soft leather that molds to your feet, offering a fit and feel that’s uniquely yours.
We place our customers at the heart of our work, keeping comfort at the forefront of every design. Taking the time to get things right, our shoes are crafted to become lasting parts of your wardrobe.
