Amie Rafa isn't just a footwear brand; it's a testament to the enduring bond between a father and daughter who share a passion for footwear and a dedication to craftsmanship. Founded in 2023, in Long Island City, New York, by Amelia Noorani Apoj, Founder and Chief Creative Officer, and her footwear veteran father, Farshad (Rafael) Noorani, Amie Rafa marries decades of industry experience with a fresh perspective on contemporary design.

Inspired by the fusion of their names, 'Amie' and 'Rafa', the brand embodies the warmth of friendship and the strength of familial ties. With roots tracing back over 30 years in the footwear business, Farshad (Rafael) brought a plethora of expertise to the table. His daughter, Amelia, grew up immersed in the artistry of shoemaking, learning the ropes alongside her father for over 10 years.

The idea to launch a new collection emerged organically from years of collaboration and shared passion. It was a natural progression for this father-daughter duo, driven by a desire to offer footwear that seamlessly blends classic elegance with contemporary flair. Thus, Amie Rafa was born. Every pair of shoes curated by Amie Rafa is a labor of love, meticulously crafted with the finest materials and attention to detail. From the initial design sketches to the final stitch, each step in the process reflects our unwavering commitment to quality and style.

Amie Rafa isn't just about creating shoes; it's about sharing a story—a story of dedication, creativity, and above all, family. We invite you to join us on this journey, where every step you take in our shoes is a testament to the enduring bond between a father and daughter, and the joy of walking your own path in style.

Thank you for choosing Amie Rafa—a brand where craftsmanship meets family, and every pair of shoes tells a unique story.
