The company designs, manufactures, and sells handcrafted women's shoes and accessories for professional, occasion, bridal, and casual wear. The customer base is affluent women seeking quality dress and leisure footwear, primarily in Spain but increasingly served globally via e-commerce.

The product portfolio spans core footwear categories — sandals, pumps, espadrilles, ballet flats, sneakers, loafers, boots, and ankle boots — plus an Essentials classics sub-line, specialty collections for bridal and guest occasions, and an accessories line (handbags, evening bags, wallets, belts). Core manufacturing uses traditional handmade shoemaking in Menorca with leather insoles, rubber soles, and upper materials including leather, suede, textile, satin, and metallic finishes.

Mascaró runs a three-channel go-to-market: nine owned boutiques in premium retail locations across Spain and Monaco, a wholesale seat in El Corte Inglés department stores across Spain and Portugal, and a direct-to-consumer e-commerce storefront (mascaro.com) that ships to over 50 countries with multi-currency localization and a Klarna installment option. The business remains family-owned and privately held with no disclosed external funding or institutional investors. Revenue is generated through one-time product sales at full retail price, with seasonal Outlet and Private Sales channels providing inventory-clearing margin.
