A bit of history. Frances Cooley is a boutique cake maker and trained chocolatier. Her love affair with chocolate began at the age of five, when her Mum bought a block of chocolate back from Mexico. Frances found the original shoe mould on a trip to Antwerp, and was inspired to make some chocolate zebra print shoes, because she'd always loved zebra print shoes. And chocolate.
Gorgeous handbags are the perfect partners for sexy stiletto shoes, so Frances designed and patented her own handbag design, tracking down a local manufacturer to create a set of moulds. Polka dots and leopard print joined the zebra print, and Choc Chic was born.
Choc Chic now sell in Liberty's, Harvey Nichols, Bentalls, and The Archway Deli in Clifton. They've made an appearance at Grazia and TX Maxx parties, and are part of afternoon tea at the Hyatt Regency in London.
