The Brand
For over 25 years in the market, Carmen Steffens has established itself as a reference in the footwear, bags and luxury accessory market in Brazil. With more than 560 stores in 19 countries, the brand was named in honor of the mother of the company’s President and CEO, Mario Spaniol.
As a part of the Couroquímica group and having its own tannery, the brand guarantees the exclusivity and fast production process. Currently, more than 3,000 employees produce an average of 10,000 pairs of shoes with varied and exclusive models. Carmen Steffens clothes are distinguished by combining beauty, comfort and exclusivity.
The production infrastructure allows the brand to create exclusive, high quality products, resulting in 10 collections per year. The DNA of exclusivity is also located in privileged addresses of international stores and in their participation in the most renowed catwalks in the fashion world, like Paris Fashion Week, for instance.
