What is Unisa?
Unisa is a Spanish footwear company from the Alicante region, one of the centres of the country's shoe industry. The brand focuses on women's footwear and complements its shoe ranges with handbags. By late 2022 the company could look back on almost three decades of trading.
Products and positioning
Unisa's collections combine urban, everyday styles with dressier pieces. The range includes:
- Boots and ankle boots
- Sneakers
- Court shoes
- Loafers
- Handbags
The brand sits in the accessible mid-market, offering seasonal women's collections built around wearable shapes rather than runway statements.
Distribution
Unisa runs a network of around 30 own stores across Spain, Portugal and France. In November 2022 it opened its first store in Valencia, on Calle Jorge Juan. Its shoes are also sold through online multi-brand retailers in Europe, such as Boozt.
Why it matters
Unisa is an example of the Alicante footwear cluster building branded retail: a regional manufacturer-brand that has developed its own store estate in Southern Europe while keeping a presence with third-party online retailers.
