Chou Chou Shoes has made its mark on high-end women’s footwear available in Montreal since its inception in 1981. It has become the destination for women looking for the latest trends in shoes and accessories. “We are first and foremost an avant-garde boutique,” says co-owner Raymonde Saragosti. “Our clientele want shoes and handbags before they’re available in other stores. That’s why we have always been a choice destination for them; some of the same women have been coming here since the beginning.”
