Spanish shoe brands that I follow make the musketeer boot often enough, just like their competitors elsewhere. Every year, as I browse through their winter collections, I single out the models that I like best. This year it's an over-the-knee or "musketeer" boot by C-Doux, a Menorcan label that I really like for its refined and seductive design style. Great quality goes without saying when we are talking about shoes or boots made on the island of Menorca or in mainland Spain.
In this post, the brand in focus is Paco Gil. Founded in the 80s, it's one of these classic Spanish luxury shoe brands that like their shoes sexy and tactile, playing up the traditional connection between shoes and desire. In the beginning of this year the company went through quite a dramatic event: a generational shift. The daughters of the founder, Carla and Sara Gil, who for years worked as their father's assistants both on the business and the design side, have officially come forward to take the reins of the family enterprise.
Summer mood, the weather is great - who wants to even think of winter and cold weather? I don't, BUT.... right now is a good time to take advantage of great discounts being offered on last season's boots. As many fashion lovers know, there is nothing wrong with a) wearing last season b) getting bargains on designer boots. Here on this blog, I am, of course, talking Spanish brands.
Now, we know that kittens are very popular, especially those from Youtube. When it comes to shoes, kitten heels are very appealing as well. They are moderately low - ranging from 3 to 6 cm (1.2'' to 2.4''), usually combined with pointy toe styles. Spanish brands I follow offer many great versions of this popular heel.
