Speaking of shoes, Camper’s Spring 2009 collection consisting of the meshed bootie, (its sisters seen on the haute couture catwalks in Paris), the functional sneakers and running shoes, the must-have pumps and trendy kitten heels are now available in all Camper stores and outlets nationwide.

A Spanish company which began its commercial activity in 1975, Camper has a century old history which began in 1877 when Antonio Fluxà, a craftsman shoemaker, set sail for England to find out about new methods of industrial manufacturing.

Upon his return, he gathered together a group of craftsmen of the county of Inca (Majorca) and introduced the first machines for manufacturing shoes, a great symbol of modernity. An innovative spirit transmitted to future generations: pioneering spirit, love for the profession, quality products, honor, austerity, function.

Dedicating their work to the shoe industry for three generations, Lorenzo Fluxà, Antonio’s grandson, created Camper in 1975; it was a concept reflecting a new lifestyle, a new concept based on freedom, comfort and creativity.
