Nelissa Hilman blends two seemingly opposing aspects in footwear – style and comfort. Their extensive collections promise the right pair for even the most finicky of customers.

When it comes to fashionable footwear, few are as bold, adventurous and broad-ranged as Nelissa Hilman. The company, Nelissa Hilman Ventures Sdn Bhd, opened its doors in 2012 and has since retailed women’s footwear both locally and internationally.
These footwear encapsulates the founder, Nelissa Hilman’s vision – celebrating women. All are handcrafted to revitalise the heritage of the shoemaking industry, accentuated by distinct youthfulness while prioritising comfort. The amalgamation of her chemical engineering background with the world of fashion and art, birthed a sui generis approach to the competitive fashion arena.

Fixing Is-shoes to Fit
It is a common woe amongst womenfolk to sacrifice comfort for style. After countless sore feet, blisters and pain, Nelissa has had enough. Her decision to bridge this gap, and to find the right shoe fit, positioned her on trajectory that would one day see her working with the likes of Jonathan Liang, a Paris-based, Malaysian fashion designer and Creative Director for Duke & the Duchess.
Another hurdle to overcome is the business of selling shoes online itself. While online shopping is no longer met with scepticism, customers are still wary about purchasing apparel and footwear online; yet, their apprehension is not unfounded.
The company rectifies that by providing international sizing charts (European sizing from EUR34 to EUR42) as well as a shoe size conversion guideline; keeping an open communication with customers to find the right fit for them.

Masterful Collections for All
Whether it is for business or leisure, Nelissa Hilman offers a diverse range of shoe collections for all occasions. These collections, found on their online store, are aptly named New Neutrals – edgy and effortless look that’s suitable for office wear; Metallic Darling, the epitome of elegance and grace; Essentials to polish your looks; and Vacation, to complement any outfit.
A favourite among customers is the Eva Pointy Toe Mules, loafer-inspired top-line with stiletto heels that is perfect as a day-to-night mule. Covered in dark blush suede, it is fitted with a faux leather lining with padded insoles and embellished with a bronze metallic band.
Another favourite is the Sereni, with a two-strap detail and chunky block heel. It is crafted in smooth black faux leather with microfibre lining and padded insole for comfort. The ruched upper strap adds a stylish touch and differentiating factor from other designs – simple, yet elegant. These shoes are locally handcrafted in Malaysia.
At the drawing board… The team brainstorms during the detailing and materialising stage to bring ideas to live.
Wholly Sustainable Business
The Nelissa Hilman brand boasts leather from Italy, hardware from China while running production on Malaysian soil. The company firmly believes in a sustainable manufacturing process, sourcing raw materials locally whenever and wherever possible, and prioritising the ecological footprint of their shoes.
This is apparent as they espouse the Cradle-to-Cradle (C2C) principles, a biomimetic approach that centres eco-efficiency by modelling industrial processes after nature. The principles include reducing waste and energy consumption, reducing environmental impact, utilisation of recyclable materials, elimination of serious toxins and creating products that are durable.
Furthermore, the company goes one step further as to screen suppliers for negative social and environmental practices. Nelissa Hilman ensures every aspect of the business – down to their supply chain – becomes wholly sustainable. If there is a way to a customer’s heart, it is the Nelissa Hilman brand which prioritises customer’s comfort without compromising style.
