Sara Rochas and Ines Golcalves are sisters and the designers behind Coq.Luxe, a new Portuguese brand of shoes. Coq.Luxe started as a conversation between the two sisters at the table of a cafe, from where it jumped to the red carpet, as they say, referring to the Storytailors fashion show in Paris, last January. For this event they created exclusive shoes.

Coq.Luxe was born mainly because, shoe addicts as they are, they need to find a solution for a very serious problem. Sara and Ines needed to know how they could manage their salary in order to feed the shoe addiction. The solution was... working with the items that gave them pleasure. So Coq.Luxe was born.

After getting the attention of a factory in the north of Portugal, Helsar, the first collection came to the world, this Spring. It's inspired in the Cinema Divas, the Miss-En-Scene collection presents nine high heels platform pair of shoes.

At this time, the next collection is ready to hit the stores, the second of two Portuguese designers that want to make Coq.Luxe a Five Star brand.

Their website will be up soon at www.coqluxe.com.

not my style but very cute shoes!

I love the ones in the style of spats but thats probably because i have an addiction to them! I have a pair from ysl that are practically the same, a blue and grey pair from armarni and a flat pair from topshop so i really don't think i need any more lol

I like the spats, also the top left corner ones that look like cartoon shoes are cute!

im loving chunky shoes at the moment...top left is very mini mouse!

OH WOW THOSE ARE CUTE!! Loving the off-white one at the right very much.
