How the brand was built
Founded during her 17 years living and working in New York and Los Angeles, High Heel Jungle has become one of the fastest-growing hosiery labels in the United States and Australia.
The brand is worn by cultural and creative figures including Hailey Bieber, Charli XCX, Sabrina Carpenter, Ariana Grande, Elle Fanning, Tyra Banks, Kelly Wearstler, Chappell Roan, Jessica Gomes, Georgia Fowler, Tones and I, Vera Blue and Sarah Jessica Parker.
High Heel Jungle is stocked globally at Nordstrom, Bloomingdale’s, Anthropologie, Free People and Wolf & Badger, and remains the number one selling hosiery brand on The Iconic.
Positioned as more than socks, tights or gloves, the brand focuses on statement design and self-expression. Pieces are hand-crafted using premium materials including Italian lurex, crystal embellishments, cashmere, satin and fine cotton.
Strategic focus in Australia
Through the new appointment, iD Collective will support Eisman’s growing presence in the Australian market while strengthening brand storytelling around empowerment, identity and style psychology.
The partnership signals continued investment in building High Heel Jungle’s local footprint, as the brand expands its reach across fashion retail, media and cultural channels
