Founded in Marseille by siblings Régine and Jean-Carles, Reqins is the vision of a duo fueled by creative passion.
The brand
Our story
Shoe craftsmanship since 1987
An ongoing journey 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.
