About Sarah Chofakian

Sarah Chofakian is a Brazilian designer who creates handmade leather shoes and accessories for women. As an autodidact designer and fascinated by the art of creating shoes, Sarah decided to open her own business by launching the brand that bears her name in 1997, opening her first store in Alameda Lorena (São Paulo, Brazil). A psychoanalyst by training, Sarah specialized in the Biblioteca Freudiana Brasileira (Brazilian Freudian Library) and worked for five years.

With Armenian heritage Sarah always had a close look at business, but never left aside the taste for art (a characteristic inherited from her mother a plastic artist at the time). That is revealed in authorial and unexpected creations.

Willing to explore the innumerable possibilities of shoemaking art and inspired by the fascination and attitude each shoe reflects in women; Sarah has transformed the craft into passion. Today, with 20 years of experience and four own stores in São Paulo, Brazil, she personally commands the creation of 200 styles a year, with an artisan process where small and precious details make all the difference.

"My vision in high-end fashion is to create authentic shoes for the modern woman who lives in a dynamic world and seeks comfort, practicality and style. Shoes conceived with passion and hand-crafted with care”. - Sarah Chofakian

Each Sarah Chofakian shoe is a unique piece, hand-crafted, using the minimum machinery.

Throughout her 20-year career, Sarah as founder and creative director improved a creative authoring technique, starting from development the upscale forms that ensure comfort and the aesthetic that became her DNA.

From the forms, the designs come true - over them the shoes are molded and sculpted step by step, until the final, where Sarah wears each style personally. The entire production is made by local shoemakers who grew up along with the brand, and today, in the second generation of artisans, they develop Sarah Chofakian products exclusively.

Respecting a century-old technique, cuts are made manually and specific instruments have been customized to meet the new demands.

As a result of this process are exclusive shoes and collections that follow a standard of excellence and care in every process, from their creation up to the new stage of their journeys at the feet of the customers, who recognize each Sarah Chofakian shoe as an artwork.
