MZ Wallace was established in 2000 by Monica Zwirner and Lucy Wallace Eustice, two native New Yorkers. From the beginning, their aim has been to use the power of thoughtful design and enduring appeal to create essential accessories that work for modern life.

Wallace Eustice was born and raised in Manhattan. At 19, she joined master shoe designer Manolo Blahnik in New York. She then turned to design, joining Schwartz and Benjamin in product development. She spent half the year in Italy, working on the Anne Klein footwear lines with designers Manolo Blahnik and Patrick Cox. She later moved to Patrick Cox Company as Vice President of North American operations before launching MZ WALLACE.

Lucy Wallace Eustice has been a CFDA Member since 2016.
