Arche Designer Handbags and Shoes Company History.

Arche was established in 1968 by Pierre Robert Helaine with the philosophy: "If you can't think, walk. If you're thinking too much, walk. If you are thinking bad thoughts, keep walking."

For decades Arche has been using all natural elements; the original pure latex sole (which never wears out) and the softest leather uppers that let the foot breathe un- restricted. In keeping with this view of footwear and the sole/soul... all natural vegetable dyes are used to create their world famous panoply of color.

Much the same as Coco Chanel liberated women by eliminating tight undergarments and freeing the female figure, Arche has celebrated natural comfort and fashion from the very beginning. Arche thrives on style, ease, and color, manufacturing their collections in France. Arche caters to the woman who recognizes quality and is willing to pay for it. There is a distinctive look to their footwear and the Arche customer loves being identified as a knowledgable, discerning and fashionable consumer.
