Make your mark in head-turning luxury footwear
JL3D is a revolutionary women’s footwear brand that effortlessly blends high fashion with high art. Combining trailblazing 3D-printing techniques with artisan shoemaking methods to create luxury shoes that showcase intricate architectural heels. Ornate, sculptural, and daringly different, these showstopping shoes never fade into the background.
Our collection takes inspiration from everywhere, with patterns inspired by art, nature, architecture, and modern design. Each pair of shoes is carefully designed and crafted in beautiful and sustainable luxury materials – with a single JL3D heel taking 12 hours to create. We believe that footwear should never be an afterthought and that everyone should have a statement pair of incredible shoes in their wardrobe.
We launched our debut collection at a private launch party at Harvey Nichols in 2019 and continue to add unique sculptural designs to our growing collection.

Meet Our Founder: Jairaj Lall
I was born with a condition called Moebius Syndrome. This affects my facial muscles, legs, feet, and other areas of my body. When I was small, the doctors told my parents that it was unlikely I would ever walk or talk. But I proved them wrong.
Time and time again, I achieved things that people told me wouldn’t be possible. From completing primary school and high school to achieving my Fine Arts degree from Leeds Arts University and launching my own\footwear brand. It’s not always been easy; it’s been a tough journey to get to where I am today, but I believe with vision and determination there is nothing I can’t do.
My debut collection was inspired by the world around me and my deep interest in art and fashion – from floral patterns to sculptural and geometric forms, I find inspiration everywhere. I am passionate about creating aesthetically sculptural, beautiful objects that are also highly wearable shoes. I currently have 2 mini collections alongside my main collection, each showcasing an eclectic mix of luxury designs. I still have so many ideas I want to bring to life, and I’m incredibly excited about the next steps in the JL3D journey.
Jairaj was shortlisted for the prestigious Aon Community Arts Prize in his final year of university. He has also been interviewed by the BBC and ITV about his story and JL3D, as well as being featured in a variety of digital and print publications.
