Studio Amelia Shoes

Studio Amelia Shoes

Emily Amelia Inglis founded Studio Amelia in Sydney in 2019 after struggling to find a flat sandal that was neither too relaxed nor too dressy, and deciding to design her own. The debut collection launched with just four sandal styles in four colorways, and was an instant hit

Shoes

Footwear is not just where Studio Amelia started, it is the entire reason the label exists: Inglis built the brand around solving one specific problem, a flat sandal with enough structure to feel considered without tipping into fussy. That original four-style, four-colorway debut in 2019 was tiny by design, and the brand has kept a similarly disciplined hand as it grew. This grid is the clearest read on what the label actually does well.

A flat with a clear purpose

Studio Amelia's advantage is focus: a founder who started by solving her own wardrobe problem, one sandal at a time, rather than launching with a sprawling first collection. That restraint still shows in how edited the shoe offering feels compared with newer, faster labels. If minimalist, well-considered flats are what you are after, this is a fairly safe bet. For another shoe silhouette alongside Studio Amelia's pared-back flats, I would browse pairs for every kind of day.
