made to order footwear. Lewré (pronounced as Lu-Ray) represents the rays of hope, is the brainchild of renowned designer and royal couturier Dato Lewré Lew Fong Voon. As a child, Lew spends most mornings helping out his parents in the rubber plantation, and there is where he witnesses the beauty and serenity of the morning glow – through the dense thick forest. This light he saw has never been forgotten, it illuminates his path to success, providing him with inspiration every day when the first light hits the mother of Earth. From humble beginnings to becoming a jet-setter and icon for couture fashion, Lew’s mission has only begun. He shares an ambitious vision for the brand to be the drive to help transform and inspire a new generation of homegrown designers – just like the light who has guided him in his quest, he is ready to shed lights for budding talents in the industry. Lewré was founded by Dato Lew under the witness of Tan Sri Rafidah Aziz, the former Malaysian Minister of International Trade and Industry and the world renown shoe designer, Dato Prof Jimmy Choo in 1997. The Lewré label has forged its reputation through its excellence and exclusivity in arts and design, each piece of footwear is a masterpiece of art. Over the years, Lew and his team have showcased world-class design through the collaboration with renowned Haute designers such as Ben De Lisi, Arkadius Weremczuk, John Rocha, Bernard Chandran and Eri Way to name a few. The birth of Lewré Bespoke is a major breakthrough which brings forth transformation, not just for the brand for a bigger and viable demand for haute couture footwear globally. Since the launch of the flagship Lewré Bespoke boutique, the label has worked relentlessly to deliver the best possible footwear to patrons. “It’s very personal” spells the greatness in the footwear label, each pair is handmade into perfection which grants patrons the beauty and elegance one can carry without abdicating comfort; each pair of creation is a masterpiece and heart song of Lew and his team of designers and craftsman. It is Lew’s personal love for both oriental and western culture that reflects in his work – where the best of both worlds meet. Lew and his team of world-class craftsmen live by three mottos: the excellence in arts and design which empowers the world, the masterful craftsmanship one should never compromise and the ability to evolve with the ever-changing fashion industry. Lewré Bespoke strives to be the face of personalised and exclusive footwear. The label has actively participated in global trade fairs and London fashion week with the aim to bring attention to the excellence the homegrown Malaysian brand has to offer to the world.
