Mallet Shoes (Mallet London) was founded in 2015 by Tommy Mallet and Evren Ozka, with both playing key roles in establishing and growing the brand[1]. However, recent developments have significantly changed the company’s ownership structure. Tommy Mallet, the original co-founder and public face of the brand, has left the company following legal disputes with his former business partner, Evren Ozka. Evren Ozka and his company are now in control of Mallet London, and Tommy Mallet is no longer an owner or directly involved with the business[5].
Legal conflicts led to a fallout between the founders, resulting in litigation that Evren Ozka and the company won. Despite the brand being named after Tommy Mallet, he confirmed via podcast and social media that he exited the business and liquidated his personal assets during the dispute. Current statements confirm Evren Ozka’s continued involvement and that he has no plans to change the company’s name, while Mallet London continues operating and growing without Tommy Mallet[5].
