STAUD x Birkenstock Unveil First Capsule Collection

STAUD and Birkenstock unveil a chic capsule collection that blends timeless comfort with modern, feminine style. On June 3, these two powerhouse brands launched their first-ever capsule collection, a lineup that blends Birkenstock’s legendary comfort with STAUD’s signature feminine flair. The result? Timeless, versatile pieces designed to become staples in any wardrobe.

A Meeting of Heritage and Modernity

What sets this collaboration apart is the seamless fusion of expertise. With nearly 250 years of footwear craftsmanship, Birkenstock brings its mastery of functional, comfortable design. STAUD, beloved for its cool, feminine styles, injects a sense of effortless chic that has earned it a cult following. Together, they’ve created two pairs of easy-to-wear shoes and two playful handbags, each piece crafted as a wardrobe necessity for every occasion.

The Footwear: Classics, Reimagined

The collection spotlights two iconic Birkenstock silhouettes—the Arizona and Gizeh Big Buckle sandals—reworked in Italian croc-embossed leather, available in classic black or brown. Each pair features Birkenstock’s signature buckles and the brand’s renowned contoured cork-latex footbed for comfort, while STAUD’s signature ivory topstitch adds a distinctive, modern twist.

Other details include polished gold and silver metallic buckle hardware, tonal premium leather-footbed liners, and lightweight EVA outsoles, ensuring both style and wearability.

The Handbags: Playful and Practical

Designed to complement the footwear, the two shoulder bags in the collection use the same croc-embossed leather, making them perfect companions for daily use. These bags, retailing for $275, are roomy enough to fit all your essentials and echo the retro-meets-modern aesthetic that STAUD is known for.

Ready-to-Wear: Effortless Summer Staples

STAUD also contributed twelve ready-to-wear pieces, including a skirt and top ensemble, eight dresses, and two sweaters. The collection plays with shape, texture, and color—think rainbow madras plaid, chic embossed leathers, and bold color-blocking—delivering a “timeless and free-spirited aesthetic in bold color and classic applications for the essential day-to-night, summer wardrobe.”
