ETHOS

CQP was founded on a passion for creating exceptional products, brought to life through original design, uncompromising quality and meticulous attention to detail. These principles define who we are. Every day, we refine our craft to elevate every item we release.

Beyond fleeting trends, we design luxury footwear, from everyday sneakers to  boots, for discerning individuals who value authenticity and craftsmanship Our collection is made to accompany you through life – functional, intentional, and reflective of a more conscious way of living.

RAISON D’ETRE

CQP exists to elevate the modern wardrobe, occupying the space between casual and formal footwear. Our mission is to craft shoes that merge timeless Scandinavian design with exceptional comfort, fit  and quality, setting a new benchmark for everyday luxury. We believe footwear is the foundation of a lasting wardrobe, quietly defining the tone of an outfit.

For us, comfort is non-negotiable. Every CQP pair is engineered to deliver effortless wear from the first step. We elevate traditionally casual silhouettes and reimagine classic formal styles such as chukkas, loafers, and boots – to offer greater comfort, versatility, and ease than their traditional counterparts.

PRODUCT INTEGRITY

Every CQP product begins with in-house design and a meticulous development process. Multiple iterations and extensive testing ensure the perfect balance of shape, fit, and comfort before a model reaches production. A signature design language runs through the collection, creating coherence and recognisability.

Our shoes are handcrafted in a family-owned factory near Porto, Portugal, renowned for its artisanal expertise. Each pair is made by skilled craftsmen, with most steps completed by hand. Unlike standard sneakers, our styles feature a leather shank-board for enhanced support, comfort, and stability while also helping the shoe maintain its structure and shape over time.

LONGEVITY

CQP creates footwear designed to last, in both quality and style. We prioritise timeless aesthetics and premium materials to ensure years of wear. Our leathers and suedes are sourced from environmentally certified Italian tanneries, while our natural rubber soles are crafted in Italy and Portugal. Every material is carefully selected for its durability, texture, and traceability.
