COCLICO | Float Sandal, Nickel Metallic

Coclico speaks to a personal identity that extends beyond style and luxury to our way of living in the world. Consciously, artfully, elegantly. The founder descends from a long line of French shoemakers (four generations to be exact) and while she and the brand currently reside in New York, the French techniques, stylings and tradition of her past live on through the collection.

‘At Coclico, we believe that luxury isn’t the ability to purchase endlessly, but the privilege of choosing wisely. Our materials are sourced locally in Europe, near our small, family-run factory in Mallorca, Spain. At our NYC headquarters, we not only work to underpin the design process behind each collection but also seek the highest standards of ethical and environmental responsibility. The result is a union of modern minimalism and traditional quality.’

The brand partners with Native Energy to track its annual in-house carbon usage and offsets this amount by investing in international renewable energy projects. Coclico was recognized for its dedication to sustainable fashion as the winner of the 2013 SOURCE AWARD in the footwear category.

Coclico looks for leathers from tanneries that comply to vigorous standards of beauty and sustainability before looking at cost. They seek out partners who operate on a small scale, and artisanal crafters with third-party certification verifying their integrity and process. Each pair is constructed using recycled and renewable components such as cork and natural woods.

Their shoes are produced in a small, historic factory in Mallorca, Spain, where the founder Sandra is on a first-name basis with the craftspeople who make each pair by hand. Coclico are the only shoes made in this family owned and operated factory. The facility is noted for providing living wages, environmental reliability and setting the bar for best practices. 

“The artisans take pride in the production of our shoes, and their skill ensures the consistent quality of our brand.”
