Jack Rogers shoes had an inspired beginning on the isle of Capri in the early 60s, when First Lady Jackie Kennedy met the shoe style that would become the Jack Rogers Classic Sandal, a flat sandal characterized by whipstitched leather and an iconic rondelle. On her return to Palm Beach, Jackie brought the shoe to a local cobbler and an icon was born. Easy and elegant, it quickly became a warm weather essential for women of all agesãnot to mention their sisters, best friends and daughters. Over the past half century Jack Rogers has evolved beyond the Classic Sandal into a complete range of women's and girls' footwear and a line of handbags. In recent years, Jack Rogers was inducted into the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute. The brand recently announced the launch of its first men's line, which will be available for purchase in February 2016. Jack Rogers' corporate office is located in New York City's Garment District. Jack Rogers products can be purchased at Jack Rogers Madison Avenue, Jack Rogers Atlanta at Phipps Plaza, and Jack Rogers East Hampton, a seasonal pop-up shop. Products are also available for purchase online at JackRogersUSA.com, and through a handful of both brick and mortar and Internet wholesale partners.
