From the Runway to the Red Carpet, Has the Clear Shoe Trend Gone Too Far?The brand, known for its sustainable materials and made-to-order model, has steadily increased its physical footprint since launching online in 2015. Alohas emphasizes limited production runs to reduce waste, a practice that has resonated with environmentally conscious consumers. The Saint-Germain-des-Prés location joins its existing Paris store in the Marais, strengthening its presence in the French capital. In San Francisco, the brand aims to tap into a market that values both style and ethical production.
What Does This Expansion Mean for Alohas’ Future?
Alohas uses vegetable-tanned leather, recycled fabrics, and biodegradable packaging across its collections.

Store openings are carefully selected based on demographic data and alignment with the brand’s eco-conscious values.

By limiting inventory and focusing on personalization, the brand avoids the pitfalls of overstock while offering unique products. Executives suggest further expansion may target other major cities in Europe and Asia, though no specific timelines have been shared. The goal remains to grow thoughtfully without compromising core principles.
How many stores does Alohas have worldwide? Alohas now operates 13 stores globally after the recent openings in Paris and San Francisco.
