This week, we achieved something that started as just another idea scribbled down between everything else we were building — Café Collegium is officially open.
When I launched Collegium in 2015, it was about more than footwear. It was about culture. Community. The feeling you get when you walk into a space and immediately know it was made with intention. Over the years, our stores became that space for a lot of you. A place to connect, not just shop. And that always stayed with me.
Café Collegium is the next step in that vision. A place where you can slow down, sit with someone, and feel what we've always tried to build — something real.
None of this happens without the people who showed up at the pop-ups, tuned into the IG Lives, and believed in this long before it made sense to. You know who you are.
To the team who poured themselves into every detail of this space — thank you. This one's yours too.
If you're nearby, come through and celebrate with us. This is just the beginning.
Let's keep building.
