What is Sitrène?
Sitrène is a footwear brand founded by Irina Curutz, a Romanian-born entrepreneur who launched the label in London and has since relocated to Dubai. The brand focuses on understated, design-led shoes for women.
Products and positioning
Sitrène is built around a distinctive sculptural silhouette, applied mainly to:
- Mules
- Sandals
- Heeled styles developed around a signature heel shape
The shoes are produced in Italy. Curutz works with a heel master and a modellista in Tuscany, and the silhouette was refined in wood during the prototyping stage. Rather than following the seasonal calendar, the brand produces timeless styles in limited quantities, an approach intended to avoid overproduction.
Distribution
Sitrène sells its collections through its own website, sitrene.com, which presents the full range of mules and sandals directly to customers.
Why it matters
Sitrène belongs to a growing group of independent luxury footwear labels that pair Italian artisanal manufacturing with small-batch production, competing on craftsmanship and design identity rather than volume.
