Founded in Marseille by siblings Régine and Jean-Carles, Reqins is the vision of a duo fueled by creative passion.
The brand
Shoe craftsmanship since 1987
The story began in 1987 in Marseille. Fresh out of university, siblings Jean-Carles and Régine decided to join forces. Driven by passion and creativity, they launched Reqins—a footwear brand reflecting their own spirit: bold and free.
The adventure has since evolved, fueled by a unique blend of originality, independence, and a commitment to impeccable craftsmanship. For decades, the brand has reinvented its collections through a rich palette of colors and textures, never compromising on comfort or quality. The Reqins style is elegant, vibrant, and resolutely fashion-forward.
In 2015, Jules joined the family business, bringing a modern, creative energy along with the exceptional expertise honed through the prestigious Compagnons du Devoir.
Reqins is a story of evolution anchored in heritage. More than a label, we are a House defined by human connection and the art of transmission—a collective synergy between our Marseille creative studio and our master workshops.
