THANK YOU FOR 50+ YEARS
A Fond Farewell: The Onex Journey Comes to an End
More than five decades ago, in 1972, Onnik E. Kouyoumdjian, known to so many as Mr. Onex, founded Onex Shoes with a simple dream: to create beautiful shoes that women would truly love to wear. Coming from a family of European shoemakers, he believed that exceptional comfort, quality craftsmanship, and timeless style should never be compromised.
Those values became the heart of our company, and they have guided everything we have done ever since.
Today, after more than 50 wonderful years, our family has made the bittersweet decision to retire and close this legacy brand.
This is not simply the end of a business; it is the closing of a lifelong journey, one made possible by the incredible people who believed in us.
To every customer who welcomed Onex into her wardrobe, every retailer who displayed our shoes with pride, and every employee, sales representative, supplier, and friend who became part of our story: thank you.
Whether you discovered us in a neighborhood boutique, a favorite department store, a resort shop, or through our online store, your loyalty, encouragement, and trust have meant more than words can ever express.
It has been our honor and privilege to be part of your lives for more than half a century.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for allowing a family-owned company to do what it loved for so many years.
We leave with immense gratitude, cherished memories, and the hope that every pair of Onex shoes brought you comfort, confidence, and happiness.
With our deepest appreciation,
The Onex Shoes Family
