Shoe Biz was run by shoe designer and magnate Jerrold (Jerry) Miller and sold at the luxury New York fashion boutique Henri Bendel. During the 1970s, Shoe Biz formed manufacturing partnerships with factories in Bulgaria, France, Greece, Italy, and Spain. Arsho Baghsarian, a designer at Shoe Biz brand for fifteen years, recalled that “Jerry was a pioneer in the industry, and we were real globetrotters.”
