Introducing Margaret: A Wedding Shoe with Pittsburgh Family Roots

The story of this shoe begins with family. It starts with the incredible Moran women of Pittsburgh, PA, who came to America by way of Ireland. Shannon, founder of Luna Selene, and her cousin Meg share a beautiful connection through their grandmothers, Margaret (Peggy) and Theresa Moran, whose grit, strength, and grace continue to inspire them generations later.

The concept for the Margaret shoe emerged during a period of transformation for both of us. While Meg was navigating the whirlwind of planning a wedding, moving to a new city, career changes – and frankly, soul searching, Shannon was knee-deep in the challenging process of scaling Luna Selene, balancing her creative vision with the constantly shifting demands of growing a luxury, sustainable footwear brand – all while working full time and being a wife and mother. Yet somehow, in the midst of our changing life seasons, both found renewed creative energy as Meg searched the internet for the perfect wedding shoe.

Through countless cross-country phone calls and shared family stories, the Margaret shoe took shape. Crafted in Italy with premium leather, each detail honors their family heritage while embracing modern elegance for today's modern bride. More than just footwear, this shoe is a testament to the women who walked before us - the grandmothers who nurtured our ambitions and gave us the courage to dream big.

This limited edition white pearl pump is their tribute to the roots beneath our feet and the shoulders we stand upon, just as marriage builds on family tradition while embracing new possibilities. Each pair carries the legacy of the Moran women, whose influence spans generations and continents in our own family.

Designed to be timeless, the Margaret shoe is a luxury heirloom that can be passed down to future generations. Made with Luna Selene's signature commitment to comfort and durability, these shoes are designed to last for your wedding day and all those special moments that come after it.

Shannon Slack dreamed of building a small luxury brand that was defined by a woman’s wish to reimagine her feminine style.

With the modern fashion industry focused on dressing down, she wanted to create a brand for women who cherished the art of dressing up.

A fierce lover of mid-twentieth-century fashion, her designs are classically inspired, feminine, and comfortable.

Red, the color of power, is the mainstay throughout many of her designs, while the block heel is incorporated to ensure Luna Selene shoes can be worn from “desk to dusk.”

Her vision has evolved since Luna Selene launched in the Fall of 2020, and she continues to create designs that are inspired and influenced by the women she meets every day.

The Jackie O. Houndstooth Bootie is a fashionable and timeless shoe, featuring a chic black and white houndstooth pattern. The intricate fusion of the houndstooth textile upper and the Venetian red heel creates a "classically cool" aesthetic.

This ankle bootie is perfect for channeling your inner Emily In Paris. It comes with a modern, 2-inch red patent block heel that is comfortable to wear all day long.

The luxurious gel, leather insole will mold to your feet, while the outsole with rubber grip provides maximum stability.

This unique shoe is perfect for any holiday party, and it's unlikely that anyone else will be wearing it (unless they have great taste and have already bought it, wink). You can wear it to coffee, dinner, drinks, nights out with the girls, holiday parties, and more!
