Ancient Greek Sandals was born from a deep admiration for Hellenic heritage, craftsmanship, and mythology. Inspired by the legend of a skilled sandal maker who crafted magical winged footwear for the gods, the brand celebrates the enduring beauty and spirit of ancient Greece through timeless, modern design.

Founded in 2011 by Christina Martini, a designer with experience at Balenciaga and Louis Vuitton, and Nikolas Minoglou, who returned to Greece to continue his family’s footwear legacy, the brand blends traditional Greek artistry with a contemporary sensibility.

Every pair of Ancient Greek Sandals is handmade in Greece by local artisans who use techniques passed down through generations. From hand-cut leather straps and intricate braiding to embossing and beading, each sandal embodies authentic craftsmanship. The brand’s signature golden wing buckle pays tribute to the mythological roots that inspire every collection.

Expanding its story beyond leather, Ancient Greek Sandals has reimagined the classic jelly shoe through a Greek lens. The AGS Jellies line offers playful, waterproof designs that retain the brand’s artisanal spirit while embracing modern versatility — ideal for summer by the sea, in the city, or anywhere in between.

Beloved by women around the world, Ancient Greek Sandals embodies effortless elegance — blending mythology with minimalism, and tradition with innovation — a modern ode to Greek heritage, craftsmanship, and timeless beauty.
