Corso Como opens second boutique in Brazil

Corso Como, the newish women’s shoe brand, expands its retail reach with a second boutique in Brazil, its country of origin. The brand, which launched in spring 2006, quickly developed a loyal following of women who desire style, innovation, comfort and value supported by eco-friendly packaging (by using recyclable paper on all packaging they save about 2,000 trees per year).

The 450 square foot boutique located at Barra Shopping Sul in Proto Alegre City designed by local architect Stella Coelhon, is beautifully modern and clean. The native Brazilian wooden fixtures, hand silk-screened wallpaper and palette of grays, gold and crème act as a backdrop for the wonderfully colorful and textured collection of Corso Como footwear, bags, belts, jewelry and eyewear.



“Corso Como’s first boutique opened in Spring 2008 in Sao Paulo and has been
thriving from day one,” explains Carlos Kray, CEO of Strada, the parent company of
Corso Como. The brands’ philosophy is to provide beautifully crafted shoes that exhibit fresh innovations in style, impeccable detail and luxurious comfort, and retail from $98 for sandals to $310 for boots.

Wine, Women & Shoes

Wine, Woman & Shoes is the brainchild of Napa Valley vintner, Elaine Honig. While chatting with a girlfriend about the growing popularity of wine and food pairing events, they jokingly said “wine and shoe pairings would be a lot more fun!” And they were right — since its inception, twenty WW&S events have taken place in ten cities across the country, with over 6,000 attendees, and have raised more than $2 million for women’s and children’s causes. In August 2007, Elaine partnered with long-time friend and industry colleague, Julie Jenanyan. Now, with a combined 30 years of wine industry and marketing experience, they’re expanding the Wine, Woman & Shoes program into more cities, working with non-profit and corporate clients to educate about wine, introduce high-fashion shoes, and inspire women everywhere to think out of the box…shoebox that is!

Our Mission:
Change your shoes, change a life!
