Founded in 2015, LoQ is derived from the surnames of the brand's designers and founders, Keren Longkumer and Valerie Quant. Upon meeting, while studying footwear design in Los Angeles, they immediately realized their mutual affinity for unconventional forms, proportions, materials, and attention to detail. Their footwear collection was a quick hit and has sustained a large following due to the quality craftsmanship and timeless aesthetic.
