Vince Camuto

Vince Camuto’s story begins with its namesake, who was born in Queens, New York, in 1936 to Italian immigrants and began working in a shoe store at fourteen. In 1983, he co-founded Nine West, identifying demand for fashionable, fine-quality shoes at accessible prices. Vince and Louise Camuto founded Camuto Group in 2001, and the namesake Vince Camuto brand launched in 2005 as a footwear line before expanding into handbags, eyewear, apparel, jewelry, belts, and cold-weather accessories. Its identity is rooted in Italian heritage, craftsmanship, and design, with footwear combining style, comfort, and accessible pricing. Camuto died in 2015 at age 78. In 2018, Authentic Brands Group became responsible for the development, growth, and global marketing of the brands held by the intellectual-property joint venture. The current website identifies Camuto IPCo, LLC as part of the Authentic Brands Group family of companies. The brand introduced its debut feminine fragrance, Vince Camuto, in 2011; it was presented as a signature feminine scent and a floral chypre composed with perfumer Steve Demercado.
