LUM: Our Story

Our Story

We've had our feet in the shoe industry for over fifty years. Since we started in 1971, we've remained dedicated to creating trendsetting shoes for people from every walk of life, and have been able to watch our family company grow from a small manufacturer to a globally-recognized fashion house. Eventually, we expanded into the three unique brands of the Laundry Club: Chinese Laundry, CL By Laundry, and Dirty Laundry, as well as our fourth luxury-footwear brand, 42 Gold. It's been our pleasure to keep you well-heeled through every step of your evolution.
