The Story of Gina

How the company was formed and by whom...

Master shoemaker Mehmet Kurdash had the dream to create handmade glamorous footwear, and established Gina Shoes in 1954, naming it after his favourite actress, the alluring Gina Lollobrigida. He dedicated himself to beauty, and through his life never compromised on quality, crafting his designs out of the most beautiful skins.

Today, his three sons, Attila, Aydin and Altan Kurdash continue this tradition, the driving force behind the exquisite Gina footwear and handbags. With more than 100 years family history in couture footwear, the brother's outstanding talents interweave across the design, manufacture, and retailing of Gina. Now, breathtaking new designs are being created that continue to set the world alight and are the talk of the society pages.
