Since 1950.

The house of René Mancini was established in Paris in 1950.  The husband and wife duo were well known as makers of fine and traditional footwear.  They created handmade shoes for elite clients like the Duchess of Windsor, Coco Chanel, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Princess Grace Kelly, Princess Diana, Mme. Pompidou, Lauren Bacall, Audrey Hepburn, etc.

In this era, they also created footwear for such venerable fashion houses as Pierre Balmain, Jacques Fath, Cristobal Balenciaga, Hubert de Givenchy and Yves Saint Laurent.
The privately held company has transitioned and made its mark in such destinations as Milan, New York, Geneva, Los Angeles and several Gulf countries.
 
Today, René Mancini is recognized as one of the premiere purveyors of luxury footwear and handbags with a particular emphasis on feminine and sexy designs in the most luxurious exotic skin selections.

Coveted Himalayan Tanned Skin.

Himalayan is a particular varietal species of Crocodile from Papua New Guinea. The breed is considered precious because the light skins must be perfect to be tanned well. This particular variety of skin is usually from a younger croccodile so that prized stomach has no scars or bruises from "fighting with other crocodiles".
