In their own words: “A tapestry of creativity and self-expression, Hot Chocolate Design was founded by Carolina Aguerrevere and Pablo Martínez in 2004. Our journey began in Venezuela, emerging into the market as an independent and innovative lifestyle footwear brand, based on the consumer's need to escape the creative rigidity of mass-produced brands that left little room for self-expression.
