The history of Schmoove

Schmoove was launched in 2001 by Guy and Yvon Rautureau, heirs to a family footwear business founded in the Vendée region in 1870 by Jean-Baptiste Rautureau. Initially designed for men, the brand expanded to include women's styles starting in 2013. Production primarily takes place in Portugal, renowned for its leather craftsmanship. The same family group is also behind the brands No Name, Armistice, and Free Lance.
