Brand new (to shop) SHOES

Up this week I have shoes for every occasion; sandals, court heels and ankle boots. Brilliant.

80’s black leather ankle boots

Size: 3

0.5” heel

Great Condition, Hardly Worn

Black leather ankle boots with a little ankle strap and slightly pointed toes. Whilst undoubtedly a winter staple ankle boots are also a necessity in the English summer, great for both the less than sunshiney days and for teaming with summer dresses on those hot sunshine-rain-hot sunshine days we’ve been having lately.

80’s Black Suede Court Heels with Red Detailing, Bows and Buckles

Size: 3.5

2.5” heel

Great Condition, Hardly Worn

Court heels are undoubtedly one of my wardrobe staples. They are brilliant for looking the part in meetings, at interviews and even just for adding a touch of business like class to every day outfits

*Fun Fact* Originally founded in the 1850’s Bally is a company with history and class. In the post millennium times that shoe firm has struggled to modernise in the face of competition exploiting cheap labour in China and India and making lesser quality, but much cheaper shoes for the mass market. However for vintage lovers seeking out a bargain the brand Bally essentially equates to good quality materials and good quality design.

70’s Tan Leather Sandals with Small Heel and stitch detailing

Dolcis

Size: 6

Heel: 2”

Condition: Shows some slight signs of age but excellent vintage condition

70’s. Tan Leather. Small block heel. These shoes hit almost all the summer sandal trends and the ankle strap makes them comfy to wear.

*Fun Fact* You may well have seen the modern incarnation of the Dolcis brand as a concession in such stores as Bay Trading, but in it’s time Dolcis was a well regarded retailer in it’s own right. Another store with history Dolcis was founded in 1863 but, unfortunately, like Bally began to rapidly decline in the late 90’s/early 2000’s in the face of changing markets. Older examples are still an example of good, traditional British quality.
