Keep is one of our favorite footwear brands because they’re in business for the ladies. Season after season they take their line to a new level - whether it’s new silhouettes, new fabrications or new markets. The ladies recently launched a children’s line in February and they are some of the cutest itty bitty shoes! They’re not your regular kid’s shoes - not childish gimmicks - just clean design shrunken down for the little ones. Keep has also been flipping the sneaker envy. You know how normally with other brands you wish you could get the guys shoes? Well, with Keep, it’s the other way around. Like an savvy business ladies they’re offering the line in larger sizes to accommodate the boys, but here’s the catcher, the boys have to order in women’s sizes! Ha! A little of their own medicine, eh?
For Fall ‘09 Una was inspired by the holidays and the coziness of the season. One of the new fabrications is moire faille, a textile that has the look and feel of grosgrain ribbon - reminiscent of holiday gift wrapping. For all those times you want to cozy up to the couch and snack, you can rock the pretzel pattern. Or, if you’re just going casual their are many chambray and corduroy options, and other menswear inspired fabrics. On top of it all, Keep is vegan, eco-friendly and animal friendly - that is they don’t harm animals and have recently received PETA sponsorship. So, not only will you look good wearing these, you can feel good about wearing them too!

Keep Company was started in 2005 by Margot Jacobs and Una Kim. The idea had been in the works for years, but finally came together through a solid combination of timing, opportunity, savings, and auspicious astrological forecasts.
Keep Company is based in Los Angeles, California. Margot and Una were crew in New York first, before Margot split to go to Italy and then Sweden. Una lived large in Brooklyn until she left for Northern California in 2003 before finally settling in sunny Los Angeles. Now the ladies have reunited to bring Keep into the world. Keep is a shoe company, a clothing company, an amalgam of interests, a way of being, a force, a language, a family and many other things.
You know we got more on Una and her mold-breaking company, after the jump!
