Adelisa and Co.

Rachel and Allison founded Adelisa & Co. after visiting an artisan market in Nicaragua in 2016 where they discovered handmade leather shoes for children. They partnered with Marvin, a local shoemaker in Masaya, to produce new shoe designs. As of 2024, Marvin leads a workshop that employs over 20 artisans.

Adelisa & Co. operates its main workshop in Masaya, Nicaragua, an area recognized for its artisan community. The company reports that its production involves local artisans who work in a collaborative environment.

Adelisa & Co. uses full-grain, vegetable-tanned leather to produce its shoes. The company states that its leather comes from sources that use water reuse, waste management, and energy efficiency practices. Vegetable tanning is a process known for using plant-based dyes instead of chemical treatments.

Adelisa & Co. produces handmade leather footwear for children and women. The company's collection includes Paseo boots for children and women, Aventura and Bella sandals, and the Verano Slide sandal introduced in October 2024. Other models, such as Flora and Verano sandals for women and children, are also part of the product range. Shoes in these lines were featured in 2025 retail promotions.
