CFM Souliers is a free and creative brand.
If CFM Souliers is so exuberant / colorful - it's because I love life at night, Italian shoes, high heels and perfect curves.
My inspirations come from my openness to the world, especially that of women, my passion for contemporary dance, painting, gardens and the performing arts - among many others.
I draw all my models by hand. Every detail has been thought out, designed and refined: I imagine each shoe as a little jewel or a work of art.
As a lover of craftsmanship, I pay particular attention to refined finishes and exceptional details.
Exchanging ideas and fine-tuning designs with craftsmen in their workshops are key stages in the creation of my shoes.
CFM : my initials
CFM : abbreviation of the word conformity, used in the shoe industry when a shoe is ready for production.
The logo : signature of my paintings and drawings
The box : a painter's canvas look and a canvas print interior from Jouy-en-Josas, my home town.
Models' names : my close circle
The shoes are produced in Spain and Portugal, the leathers are choice 1 French and Italian, and the satins are woven in Spain. Boxes are made in Portugal. Wool envelopes come from China.
I chose production in Spain and Portugal for their ancestral know-how in shoe-making and hand-woven leather. The workshops that make my shoes are partners I've worked with since I started in the shoe business.
The "La Première" collection is manufactured on the luxury production line of our workshops, in small quantities and in slow production. To ensure respectful production, all stages of manufacture are controlled, materials are traced, workshops are audited and packaging is FSC-certified.
