Why Mach & Mach and Amina Muaddi Are Ruling Our Closets
Share
The ultimate party shoe showdown comes down to the glittering crystal bows of Mach & Mach versus the bold, architectural pyramid heels of Amina Muaddi.
Whether you are dressing up for a glamorous night out in Dubai or elevating a casual denim look, these two powerhouse brands have completely redefined what it means to make a statement from the ground up.
We are absolutely obsessed with how these contemporary designers bring unapologetic joy, confidence, and high-octane glamour back into our shoe collections.
The Sparkle Sisters: Mach & Mach
If your style language is pure, then Mach & Mach is your shoe fairy godmother.
Founded in 2012 by Georgian sisters Nina and Gvantsa Macharashvili, this Tbilisi-born brand took the fashion industry by storm with its internet-breaking Paris Fashion Week debut.
Mach & Mach Quick Facts
- Signature Look: Silk satin, glittering crystals, and the iconic Double Bow
- Vibe: High-gloss, playful, feminine, and nostalgic
- Celeb Fans: Dua Lipa and Kylie Jenner
The magic lies in their ability to combine old-world glamour with modern-day edge. Their signature crystal-encrusted double bow heels serve as wearable art that transforms any outfit into an instant celebration. As the founders themselves beautifully put it:
"Contrasts are a vital part of everything that happens around us."
That contrast between delicate silk textures and dazzling, heavy crystal hardware is exactly why a pair from our Reems Closet Shoe Collection will always turn heads.
The Architectural Queen: Amina Muaddi
On the other side of the style spectrum sits Amina Muaddi, the Jordanian-Romanian designer who literally turned luxury footwear on its head.
Launching her namesake label in 2018 after studying the craft alongside master artisans in Italy's historic shoe-making districts, Muaddi created something truly rare: an instantly recognizable silhouette.
Amina Muaddi Quick Facts
- Signature Look: The flared pyramid heel and striking PVC elements
- Vibe: Edgy, structural, confident, and "9-to-midnight" versatility
- Celeb Fans: Rihanna and Hailey Bieber
Her genius design feature is the flared pyramid heel. By combining a razor-sharp stiletto top with a wide, architectural square base, she created a striking visual impact that balances high fashion with real-world stability.
“"What women want from their shoes is to feel special and comfortable... Shoes are universal — the way a pair of heels gives you confidence, women everywhere know there's nothing like it." — Amina Muaddi
From the crystal-buckled Begum pumps to translucent slingbacks, her shoes are designed for the modern woman who moves effortlessly from a gallery opening to the dance floor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Mach & Mach shoes true to size?
Generally, yes! They typically fit true to European sizing. However, if you are opting for their pointed-toe pumps and have wider feet, we often recommend going up half a size for a bit more breathing room.
Why are Amina Muaddi heels so popular?
It is the perfect mix of comfort, celebrity endorsement, and distinct design. The iconic flared pyramid heel gives you the height of a stiletto but the stable base of a block heel, making them incredibly easy to wear.
