The Mario Bemer Showroom USA is located in Queens, NY. A few months back, I decided to go to work a bit late and pass by to visit Mario. I wanted to see where he was, talk some shop, and also show all of you how easily you can see Mario Bemer USA’s work in person. At least for those of you near the Tri-State area or visiting it.
Located in Bayside, Queens, a quaint suburb of the large borough, you will find Mario Bemer’s Showroom tucked away in a very beautiful neighborhood area. Worth noting is the fact that it might require driving to get there, whether by your own car or a taxi. It is not something you can easily navigate to from the subway.
Mario spends half of his time in Tuscany and the other half here in NYC, where he and his American/Italian wife, Sandra, have lived for some time now. The Mario Bemer Showroom is actually an extension of his lovely home. At the showroom, you will see a display of his models, some stock, and a workshop attached, where Mario sometimes gets his hands dirty by finishing/making shoes. In the US company, Mario controls his shoes from start to finish in a very hands-on nature.
At the Mario Bemer Showroom, you will find a lot of what makes Mario special. What I mean by that are his unique designs and colorful nature. After all, Mario is the brother of the late Stefano Bemer who surely helped inspire some of Mario’s ideas, and maybe vice versa. You can feel the resemblance in the shoes and the quality is equally as impressive as the design.
Mario Bemer specializes in Made to Order so visiting the showroom will be for discussing an order instead of leaving with something on the day. He makes pair by pair, customer by customer. That way, you get exactly what you want and get fitted properly.
For those unfamiliar with the difference between Mario Bemer Firenze and Mario Bemer USA, you can read more about it in this article. The Mario Bemer Showroom USA is where you will find the man Mario Bemer and the shoes he now makes under his US brand.
