KTW (Katsu World) was founded in 2005 in Elche (Alicante) as an extension of the most daring and iconoclastic side of Ras, a brand owned by the Marshoes business group. With the slogan Can You Follow Me? this label is aimed at young men and women who reject convention and are drawn in by a proposal that combines art, design, freshness and audacity in ballet pumps and clogs with original prints and striking sports shoes made with hi-tech materials.
The eclectic and ground-breaking spirit of KTW has led the firm to work with young creators such as Eduard Ballester (EBP) for the avant-garde fashion show El Ego de Cibeles. Every season, the firm is present at the Bread & Butter fashion fair in Barcelona, as well as Modacalzado (Madrid), Micam (Milan), Who's next (Paris) and Obuv Mir Kozhi (Moscow).
Exports account for 50% of KTW’s turnover. The Marshoes business group, which also owns the colourful label Alima, sells 300,000 pairs of shoes a year all over the world.
