What is Bernie Mev?

Bernie Mev is a New York-based footwear label. According to the fashion platform Lyst, it was established in 1974 by its namesake designer.

Products and positioning

The brand aims to make shoes that are comfortable to wear without sacrificing style. Its signature is the woven upper, which is described as lightweight, flexible and breathable. Each shoe is said to have a memory foam insole that moulds to the wearer's foot.

The range seen on a partner retailer's listing covers sneakers, slide and slip-on sandals, wedge sandals, flats, ballet flats, boots and wedge heels. That makes it a broad women's-oriented footwear offer built around one construction idea, the woven upper.

Distribution

The brand's shoes appear on third-party retail listings, including Lyst, where a partner store showed 55 products. Many items were marked down and several were out of stock at the time of the listing. No information on own stores was found.
