Two Lips Shoes

About the Company

Founded in 1982, Two Lips Shoes, Inc. is a family-owned and operated company. The entire lineup of fancy footwear is designed by company owner Chahe Ghanimian. A second generation shoe designer, Ghanimian learned his craft from his father.

Ghanimian's focus on trends can be attributed to his travels to Brazil, Europe and New York, where he studied the current market and applied his findings to his shoes. The result is the Two Lips lineup of consistent, quality footwear.

In addition to just being plain trendy, Two Lips products are sampled repeatedly until the perfect shoe – known as the "confirmation sample" – is finally made. In fact, the company prides itself on testing each shoe at least four times. When that perfect finish and ideal fit is acquired, then the shoe is finally ready for production. All shoes are produced in Brazil, China and Spain.

The Product Lineup

Two Lips specializes first and foremost in women's footwear. The diverse collection includes everything from tough boots and casual slides to office-appropriate pumps and chunky wedge sandals. The company also offers a limited selection of men's shoes, including casual, oxford and dress shoes, as well as boots.

Accessories are also a part of the Two Lips repertoire, and the company's handbag lineup is representative of its trendy outlook. Shoe care products, including water repelling sprays, shine kits, foot cushions, heel grips and sole grips to protect against slips, are also available.

Two Lips Shoes for Women

We'd be remiss not to mention the immense selection of Two Lips products for women. Fashionable ladies around the world are familiar with the colorful collection, and those who see the shoes for the first time are usually smitten. That's thanks in great part to each shoe's attention to detail and ability to look trendy while being incredibly comfortable.

• If you have a special occasion on the agenda, Gileyla is the perfect choice. Dressy and glamorous, it boasts a floral rhinestone embellishment on its thin black straps. Perfect to wear to that big springtime soiree, it spells perfection when paired with a simple black dress.

• An ideal choice if you're hoping to embrace the season's affinity for artistic heels, Cookie pairs a sassy wooden platform with a gleaming patent leather upper. The floral insole is an adorable touch, but it's the reasonable price point that will keep fashion mavens glued to this ultra-trendy shoe.

• The classic, pointy-toed black heel will never go out of style. Two Lips makes a sharp version called Telma. Its two and a half inch heel adds modest height, but it's the sexy toe that will make you look every bit the powerhouse professional.

• Two Lips isn't all about heels, though. The comfortable Peneta thong takes its inspiration from Ghanimian's Brazilian travels. The elegant embellishment contrasts beautifully against your choice of red, white or black leather. Throw on your favorite beach cover-up, slide these on and enjoy a leisurely stroll on the boardwalk.

• Ladies who love a little boost will flock to Venus, a peep-toe wedge with a four inch heel. A diminutive chain link detail adorns the striped upper, making this the perfect dressy-casual shoe to see you through the season in style.

Let's Not Forget the Guys

There's something for men at Two Lips, too. Though the selection is not nearly as vast as the women's lineup, it includes the basic shoes that every man likely needs.

• The quintessential dress shoe, this smart choice features an all black leather upper with a discreet design.

• With its mock croc exterior, these trendy loafers are instantly eye-catching. Perfect for the trendy gentleman, these shoes are available in black and brown.
