Steve Madden’s Dolce Vita Debuts Furst U.S. Mall Store in Aventura

Miami, FL – February 7, 2025 – Dolce Vita is making a bold move in retail with the opening of its first-ever U.S. mall store.

The footwear brand has debuted in Florida with an 802-square-foot store inside Aventura Mall in Miami, offering its full range of shoes and accessories. Designed by Aine Naughton, the store embraces a minimalist aesthetic with organic curves and neutral tones.

Kerry Norlin, Dolce Vita’s president, sees this expansion as a natural fit for South Florida’s dynamic lifestyle. “The Aventura store is a natural extension of our retail identity, creating a luxe, curated experience tailored to South Florida’s energy and lifestyle,” Kerry shared with Footwear News.

This launch marks another step in Dolce Vita’s national growth, following flagship openings in New York City, Austin, and Washington, D.C. Parent company Steve Madden, which recently acquired Almost Famous for $52 million, reported strong third-quarter earnings, driven by international sales and direct-to-consumer growth.
