Press Release Summary: "MEZLAN FORMS PARTNERSHIP WITH SOLES4SOULS"

Press Release Body: Families around the world have been devastated recently by
frequent natural disasters. And Mezlan, a luxury men's shoe & accessories line, is
taking action. In a partnership with Soles4Souls, a non-profit organization that
donates shoes to people and communities in crisis, Mezlan will donate 105 pairs of
unworn shoes to contribute to the outstanding work and international scope of this
philanthropic group.

Mezlan is honored to donate such a basic, yet indispensable gift that many take for
granted. Their high-quality footwear will be a welcomed gift and asset for families
in recovery and one less concern in their hearts and minds. Mezlan continues to
raise fashion industry standards with their world class craftsmanship of shoes and
accessories, including belts and hosiery. This partnership with Soles4Souls unites
the best of fashion and philanthropy. According to Mezlan owners, Antonio &
Catherine Sanchez, are quoted as saying "We're proud to collaborate with such an
esteemed organization whose efforts directly benefit the needy. We are so
vulnerable during times like these when natural disasters strike. We only hope that
our small offering helps to provide some comfort to those who need it most."

This is just the beginning of a budding relationship between Mezlan and Soles4Souls.
Mezlan aims to maintain a strong commitment to Soles4Soles mission, and looks
forward to a continued relationship with them, and other philanthropic

About Mezlan

The Mezlan family legacy began in the mountains of Spain in 1939 handcrafting fine
leather goods for European aristocrats. Throughout the years, the skill and
workmanship continued and the Mezlan name became synonymous with quality and luxury.
In the 1960's, Mezlan increased its production capabilities, transforming itself
from a small custom leather shop to a cottage industry and then emerging as one of
the leading men's fashion footwear manufacturers in the world. Their collections,
including the trendy, casual, performance driven Bacco Bucci line, feature a wide
selection of genuine exotic skins, fine leathers and Italian engineered soles.
Coupled with world-class craftsmanship, they set the standard in the industry for
quality and performance. To this day, Mezlan is widely recognized for its unique
"hand-working" of natural leathers to achieve a look and feel which has yet to be
duplicated.

Mezlan was introduced to the United States in 1985 by Antonio Sanchez - a renowned
industry talent and designer who has spent much of his life creating fashionable
men's footwear and accessories. Mezlan products are sold at leading department
stores, fine specialty stores and independent shoe stores worldwide. These include
Nordstrom, Saks and Bloomingdale's. Mezlan opened its first company-owned retail
boutique earlier this year in the Shoppes at The Palazzo in Las Vegas. Footwear
price points range from $225 to $1250.
