Stuart Weitzman has established a worldwide reputation for innovation, quality and style in women's footwear and accessories. Furthermore, Stuart Weitzman has invested considerable sums of money and extensive amounts of time and effort in creating marketing awareness for its trademarks. As a result of these efforts, the Stuart Weitzman trademarks, in addition to the distinctive shoes and handbags designed by Stuart Weitzman, have enjoyed widespread popularity and recognition throughout the world.
