About CEDOUBLÉ

CEDOUBLÉ is a non-seasonal D2C (direct to consumer) label for fashionable yet always 100% wearable shoes, bags and accessories. It was founded in 2021 in Osnabrück, Germany, by Christina-Maria Griesert and Celina Mönkediek.

CEDOUBLÉ is a female-led independent label residing in Germany. And we, the founders Christina und Celina, collected years-long of experience in the shoe industry prior to launching our very own brand. Now we handle everything ourselves – design, quality control, marketing, packaging, shipping, customer service and management of returns. Therefore, you can rest assured that all of our products have been tested personally by us and were treated with utmost care before they find their way to you – always packaged with love. In case you have any questions or requests, prior to purchasing or post-purchase, we will take care of the matters ourselves. You can get in touch with us directly in our shop through live chat or contact form, Instagram, Facebook or email

CEDOUBLÉ is a non-seasonal label. Sustainability is one of the greatest motivating forces for our operational and strategic decisions. Therefore, we focus on the following four cornerstones: Material, design, customer service and packaging. For us, being sustainable is a continuous process and we are dedicated to improve as we go forward.

In case you want to know more about how we at CEDOUBLÉ incorporate sustainability into our daily business, just click here.

Being a non-seasonal label, CEDOUBLÉ doesn’t adhere to classic spring/summer and fall/winter seasons or follows short-lived fashion trends. Our unique and timeless products are ordered in small quantities only and offered until they’re sold out. So, since there’s no typical end of season for us, there’s no end of season sale either. However, this also means that we don’t account for discounts – like many/most other brands do – right from the start when calculating our prices. Ultimately, this way, we can offer high quality, individually designed products at reasonable prices all year round. Further: A product that was purchased spontaneously/carelessly because of its reduced price and isn’t used/worn, will always end up being too expensive.

CEDOUBLÉ is a D2C (direct to consumer) label and exclusively available online at cedouble.com. However, occasionally, you can check out and try on our products during pop-up events. In April & May 2024, CEDOUBLÉ will be part of the vārm & friends concept store in Hamburg, Germany. We’ll announce these kind of events on Instagram.

CEDOUBLÉ is a non-seasonal label. Meaning, our products are offered online as long as they’re available. As we order limited quantities only to avoid overproduction, it may happen that certain styles/colors/sizes sell out rather quickly. Whether we’ll be restocking depends on you and your demand. Kindly get in touch. and inform us when you are missing a style, particular color or size. Also, we’re happy to pick up on new requests for upcoming drops (e.g. a fresh color).

We take care of all matters personally. You may choose between the following ways of contacting us:

About our products

Depending on the model, our shoes fit differently. Therefore, we recommend that you refer back to the section “sizing and fit” of the respective model’s description prior to purchasing. You’d like to receive further personal assistance or are looking for additional measurements? Of course! We are there for you at any time and together we’ll find the size that’s right for you. Just get in touch

Our sizing chart (EU/UK/US) as well as the insole length measurements of all our models and the corresponding sizes you can access here.

All our materials come from European suppliers only. Our leathers are sourced in state-of-the-art tanneries with many years of experience practicing this craft. All of them are awarded with the “gold standard” by the Leather Working Group, a non-profit organization. For our scrunchies (one of a kind pieces produced locally in Germany), we upcycle high-quality, pre-loved items (e.g. silk scarves and cashmere sweaters).

All of our products are produced in Europe exclusively.

We place utmost importance on your long-term satisfaction with our products. Should you have any complaint about a purchase, please do not hesitate to let us know.

We love that you care about caring. And we absolutely love to help you do just that: Care for your shoes. Here you can find useful basic knowledge around the topic of leather shoe care. Specific recommendations regarding individual products you can find in the respective product descriptions here in our shop or on the care advice cards that accompany your purchase.

Ordering Process

We offer worldwide shipping. You can find delivery times, shipping costs and further information about shipping here.

Sure, you do not need to set up a customer account to place an order.

Of course. You can use the payment methods offered in our shop or, if you wish, pay via bank transfer. Just place your order via mail or Instagram. After the payment has been credited to our account, we will ship out your order.

When your package hasn’t been dispatched yet (in that case you will have received an email), we can change or cancel your order. Otherwise, unfortunately, this is not possible and you will have to bear the costs of sending back the package. If you have any questions regarding this topic, just reach out to us.

Should you want to change the delivery address after you have placed an order, please contact us as soon as possible as often times we will send out your order on the same day of your purchase. When your package hasn’t been dispatched yet (in that case you will have received an email), we can adjust your address. Otherwise, unfortunately, this is not possible. You can reach us via mail, Instagram, contact form or our chat function here in the shop.

Yes, you may exchange your shoes for another product. Whether it’s a different size, color or a whole different item. You do not have to place a new order but can simply request an exchange via mail, Instagram, contact form or our chat function here in the shop. In case of an exchange, the shipping costs will apply again. However, you may put sending back the initial product on hold until you have received and tried the new item(s). Also, this way you can compare items side by side. Afterwards, you can return anything you don’t wish to keep in one shipment. If you decide you want to keep the new item(s), the price will be offset with the amount already settled. Going about an exchange in that way preserves the environment as two potential returns will merge into one.
Generally, to avoid exchanges and returns (and by that preserving the environment and our wallets), we offer extensive personal customer care. Whether you have questions regarding fitting, comfort or styling options – we love to assist you at any time to come to a well-informed buying decision.
