Atelier Stefani is the vision of Stefanie Schöninger, a creative force driven by a passion for the art of shoemaking - a craft steeped in tradition yet full of untapped possibilities. Her global journey shaped a belief: shoes can transcend function to become powerful mediums of self-expression.

With a degree in economics and entrepreneurship as well as years of experience in the creative industries - spanning film production, music, PR, and fashion - Stefanie brings a unique perspective to the world of shoemaking. She founded Atelier Stefani to redefine bespoke luxury by celebrating individuality, sustainability, and the timeless beauty of the handmade.

Her goal was to build a brand that bridges the gap between heritage and modernity, creating unique wearable art that is inspired by the wearer’s personality. Each pair is crafted with care, merging traditional techniques with cutting-edge innovation. Technology pushes boundaries, but it’s the human touch—from master craftsmen’s expertise to personal client connections—that gives every creation its soul.

At Atelier Stefani, we believe shoes don’t just complete an outfit; they transform how you move through life. Join us on this journey, because the best steps forward are the ones uniquely yours.
