SHOP SAVE SUPPORT……..
We are delighted to be supporting the Theatre Royal again! This time we are taking part in their Retail Therapy Day, today, 29th March. We are breaking our no discount policy for one day and one day only! Allowing 15% discount. You will however, have to produce your ticket, (which can be purchased from the Theatre Box Office, or the Guildhall on the day) to be eligible for the discount. We are very much hoping that this will be a successful event for the Theatre and help raise more funds for this worthwhile charity.
Micam March 2012
Another successful trip to Milan, buying for Autumn/Winter 2012.
With more wonderful collections from our existing designers, and a few new names to add……… exciting times ahead!.
Not only have we managed to secure an exclusive supply of many new gorgeous footwear designers, we have found a wonderful family run company manufacturing exquite belts with glamerous jewelled buckles. With their own factory we are able to go the extra mile and offer a bespoke belt collection, if there is a belt you’ve been looking for to complete that perfect oufit, but never found, chances are we can help!
Buying for you and the store is such a satisfying part of my job………… I love it!!
New Collections Arriving in Store
Tommy Hilfiger, Pura Lopez, Luciano Padovan and Eva Sanchez are now taking pride of place on the shelves making the store look very bright and colourful. Daniele Ancarani, Nila & Nila, Stuart Weitzman, Palmo Barceló and Ferchi are still to come over the next few weeks.
My own label is selling even faster than expected and already we are starting to struggle for sizes, in fact, we are already taking orders for the Autumn/Winter collections due in at the end of July. Having tripled the quantities from last summer I really thought we had catered for all your needs, but the comfort and design of this wonderful collection just keeps them as the most popular shoe in store!
Our new summer jewellery from Butterfly is due to arrive this week, along with jewelled flip flops from Eddie Daniele and the ever popular Massimo Trulli collection of handbags has left Italy today and will be with us by the end of the week.
A “Thank you” to Joanna Lumley
Joanna Lumley, WOW, what an amazing lady! She totally captivated the audience at the Theatre on Sunday 4th March whilst being interviewed by Sir Jeremy Isaacs at a fund raising event. She chose, and very kindly agreed to wear for the evening, a pair of Luciano Padovan black quilted court shoes. However, after a reliable “tip off” from her Agent of how much she liked the Giovanni Giusti Leopard Print Ankle Boot, I decided to give her both pairs. With no planned interval I was only ever anticipating her to wear one pair during the evening……..but no………….. Joanna insisted on a break (to include a change of shoes) and was clearly more than happy to show off both pairs by making a reference to either the shoes, or the store, on more than one occasion! A HUGE thank you Joanna!
Joanna Lumley at The Theatre Royal

EXCITING NEWS…………. FINALIST
I am so proud and excited to have been selected as a “finalist” of the Drapers Footwear and Accessories Awards 2012. The category that we have been selected as finalist in is, “Best footwear offer in an independent”. Considering we are still under 2 years old, I think this in itself is an amazing achievement, now all we have to do is wait for the final’s…………..
The Sale Must End……….
With more deliveries this week, our winter sale must end this Saturday (3rd March).
I’m exploring a new market this season with the introduction of Tommy Hilfiger to the store. I have selected a small range of flip-flops, boat shoes and wedges to test the market and gauge your reaction. It’s not necessarily my usual choice of label, however, it does have a great sport collection that I’m delighted to be able to offer our customers. It will be great to hear your reaction.
Hot on their tail will be Eva Sanchez, more superb colours including yellow & purple, along with two beautiful sandals in gold and silver……
Scarves make a wonderful accessory and can transform even the most basic items of clothing, we have a colourful range from our usual label, Italica but are also very excited to introduce some wonder silk pieces from Passigatti, both deliveries are due in this week.
We’re loving the new colours in the store, certainly makes you feel as though spring is here, even if it is still a little nippy!
