Our Manifesto

Walk with intention

CTWLK was created for people who move forward, not louder, but stronger.
We believe shoes are more than objects. They carry stories, moments and momentum. They take you places, literally and emotionally. That's why every CTWLK design starts with a simple question:
How should this feel, not only how should it look?
Rooted in family values and shaped in contemporary life, CTWLK stands for refined confidence. We design shoes that feel effortless, expressive and grounded, made to walk through seasons, cities and memories.

Scarpe diem.

Our Values

Family at the core

CTWLK is built like a family - warm, close and connected.
Every customer, partner and collaborator becomes part of our community. Trust, respect and long-term relationships matter more than rushed and sloppy fast trends.

Movement & strength

The horse is a quite symbol within our universe.
It represents strength guided by elegance, movement with purpose and freedom with direction - values we translate into every silhouette we design.

Color as character

Color is not decoration; it's identity.
Each season, our collections explore new palettes that bring emotion, energy and personality to every step. CTWLK doesn't follow color - we walk with it.

European craftsmanship

Designed in Belgium, handcrafted in Spain and Portugal.
By keeping production close, we ensure quality, ethical craftsmanship and a deep respect for the hands behind each pair.

Timeless, with a twist

We believe in strong basics that last.
But it's always the detail, a texture, a cut, a color choice, that turns a good shoe into a CTWLK shoe.

Our History

From atelier to attitude

CTWLK's story began in 1992, when Stephen Detry founded the brand under the name Catwalk, creating shoes in small Italian ateliers driven by a passion for craftsmanship and quality.

Together with his lifelong partner Stephanie, the brand grew into a well-established name with the Benelux fashion scene throughout the 1990s and early 2000s - recognised for refined design, strong materials and a loyal community.

In 2015, sons Gilles and Junot Detry relaunched the brand, bringing a new energy while staying true to its DNA. Production shifted to specialized ateliers in Spain, strengthening both quality and accessibility.

By 2017, CTWLK introduced its first men's collection.

In 2019, the brand officially evolved into CTWLK - marking a new chapter that reflects movement, modernity and a confident step forward, while Catwalk remained dedicated to the dressed women's line.

Today, CTWLK is proudly Belgian designed, European crafted, and worn by growing community across the Benelux, France, Germany and the UK.
