Chinese Laundry

Chinese Laundry is a footwear brand that launched in the early 80s and gained traction for trend-right footwear for women. It began as a practical, west coast family run business and evolved into a global footwear brand by identifying a gap: women wanted trend-driven fashion without designer prices. The brand became a staple for style-conscious women, offering fashion that balances novelty with wearability. Over time, the company built a portfolio of sub-brands including CL by Chinese Laundry, Dirty Laundry, and 42 Gold. Today, it remains a trusted bridge between aspiration and reality, delivering the look at accessible pricing.
