About Us

Cocorose London was founded in May 2007, and what began as a start up business in an East London market has grown into an award winning brand, retailing in leading and fashionable boutiques and department stores across the UK and internationally, and is flying the flag for British design.

Our original and unique concept for foldable ballet pumps offers women a stylish alternative to wearing high heels. The innovative shoes fold into their own compact purse which also holds a foldable shoulder bag in its hidden back pocket.

Ideal for handbags, travel cases and car glove compartments, the wearer can easily swap her footwear when desired and slide her high heels into the accompanying shoulder bag.

Cocorose London has grown from the initial weekend market to an active e-commerce website and a national and international wholesale network of cutting edge and exclusive stores including Fortnum & Mason, Fenwick and Babington House.

Cocorose London became an official partner to the prestigious Orange British Academy Film Awards, BAFTA, in 2010 and our designs were selected for the exclusive gift bags that were given to all the nominees and presenters attending the event. We are delighted and honoured to have been invited by BAFTA to design an exclusive "BAFTA Shoe" for the Orange British Academy Film Awards 2011.

We have had a wonderful journey over the past few years and have seen Cocorose London promoted by TV, radio, national and regional newspapers, glossy magazines, published books and influential websites. Please click on our “As Seen In” tab for more information.

We passionately believe in offering quality, style and service and we work hard to bring you all the above. We always welcome your thoughts and comments and would love for you to drop us an email, join our magazine and newsletter and get involved on our Facebook and Twitter pages.

Thank you for supporting Cocorose London and we look forward to keeping in touch with you.

About Janan, Founder of Cocorose London

Hi, here's just a little snippet about me. I founded Cocorose London in early 2007 and, three years on, I continue to be inspired by our everyday lives and the notion that time is our biggest luxury. In a world of multitasking and multiple responsibilities, my aim is to help make our lives simpler and more efficient.

Cocorose London’s compact, portable shoes with accompanying shoulder bag provides us with that touch of modern luxury; convenience and functionality coupled with style and quality. Making our lives elegantly practical.

A passionate entrepreneur, I've been lucky to be Highly Commended for the Fashion & Textile Museum & Clothes Show London’s Young Accessory Designer of the Year 2010, recognised for my work for Enterprising Young Brits 2010, featured in Emma Jones’ new book “Working 5 to 9”, Winner of Enterprise Nation’s Home Business Award 2009 and am an Ambassador for Enterprise UK.

I hope our story will inspire you and that you will enjoy browsing Cocorose London's boutique. If there's anything that we can do to help, please do not hesitate to contact us. We look forward to hearing from you and keeping in touch with you. xx
