Clothing · Online-only · HQ New York

Larroudé looks like another fashion-insider shoe label, but it owns the Brazilian factory where its shoes are made, and its two founders still hold most of the company. New York's workers' compensation regulator obtained judgments against it in 2023 and again in 2025.

The Big Picture

Solid Record

Larroudé is unusual for a fashion brand its size: its founders still hold most of the company, employees hold a slice of equity, and it owns the Brazilian factory that makes its shoes. The labor record is the thinner part of the story — New York's Workers' Compensation Board obtained judgments against the company in August 2023 and September 2025, and employees rate it 2.4 out of 5 across 21 Glassdoor reviews. With no outside investor holding real sway, the conditions behind the brand are the founders' call and no one else's.
