Cole Haan launched Made in Maine, USA – a limited-edition collection hand-forged by artisans in Lewiston, ME.

“Creating a shoe that will last a lifetime is an exceedingly personal, painstakingly accurate process from start to finish and is the very definition of American craftsmanship. This quality has allowed Cole Haan to build a legacy that lives on today,” explained David Maddocks, chief marketing officer and general manager of business development.

The Made in Maine, USA collection represents a homecoming for Cole Haan, paying homage to the brand’s roots. One shoe requires five different artisans, and an individual pair of shoes can take as long as 30 hours to produce, ending with overnight drying to ensure shape and structure.

The Made in Maine, USA Collection is available on ColeHaan.com and in U.S. and international Cole Haan Stores.
