THE STORIES MADE US DO IT
1001 Stories began with a simple belief: fashion should feel as beautiful as it looks. From New York to London to Dubai, we came together to create designs that empower, connect and give back.
What started as a dream between two women is now a movement - luxury shoes carrying the untold stories of those often left behind. Made with care. Worn with intention.
MEET NADIA A visionary, architect and connector
Nadia launched her career in the fast-paced world of New York City, where she helped shape global strategies for iconic brands. With over two decades of experience in media and brand strategy, she has always had a pulse on what moves people, but her heart has always been drawn to the world of luxury.
A bold move to Dubai expanded her global lens and reconnected her with deeper values. After a thoughtful pause to focus on family and purpose, Nadia found herself returning to the world of brand-building, this time, on her own terms. With 1001 Stories, she brings a rare mix of intuition, precision and soul to every pair we create.
MEET SHAHRZAD A designer, a storyteller and a dreamer...
SHAHRZAD’S design journey began at Central Saint Martins, where she designed for Nike and imagined the future of fashion. But it’s her love for storytelling - visual, cultural, and emotional that has truly shaped her path. For over 18 years, she’s crafted brand narratives for some of the world’s most renowned luxury fashion and jewelry houses, helping clients earn features in publications like Vogue and CNN.
From clasping a $5 million diamond necklace on an Oscar winner to curating events in spaces as unique as Frank Zappa’s recording studio and a 205-ft yacht in Monaco, Shahrzad has always blended the magical with the meaningful. 1001 Stories is her ultimate expression; a brand where design meets purpose and every shoe carries something more.
