A sneaky peak at our Autumn / Winter collection
Our Summer collection is now on SALE for you all to grab yourself a bargain or two, what it also means is that we are getting ready to unveil our new Autumn / Winter collection!
For the ladies
One of the things that excites us the most as the Autumn months draw in, is all the chic and stylish footwear to see us through Winter! The Venus boots are an essential key item for Winter, ideal to combat Britain’s unpredictable weather, whilst adding a touch of style. For a touch of elegance opt for the Selene shoes, these mid‐heel shoes are just the thing to get you ready for a days work as well as see you through any evening soiree.
For the guys
The Kama brogues have been so popular that we are introducing a new colour to the range, these Tan brogues feature punched detailing on the toe and around the sides, with a low profile heel, designed to take you from a smart work look to stylish out on the town look. The Consciente and Pensador boots oozes class, just the thing to work the gentleman swagger during the day and night.
The new collection will be available from September, not long to wait now, we promise!

We will be at Pure London this August
We are all super excited to be showcasing our fabulous Spring/Summer 2011 collection at Pure London this August, the UK’s biggest trade show! Fabulous I hear you say? Yep and I’m going to let you into a little secret as well…. We are also introducing a fun and playful children’s collection as well for all your little ones!
Our S/S 2011 collection is bursting with style and sophistication in an exciting array of designs and colours. Featuring a stunning Luxury Made in Britain range infused with indigenous prints, just the thing to see you through a stylish Summer! We have paired up with two very talented designers Lucy Norman and Corinna Warm to help us get our stand at Pure looking funky and stylish.
Lucy Norman will be providing us with these amazing ambient lights, made using bottle caps (something we didn’t know was, bottle caps are not generally recycled as they are made using a different plastic to the bottle, imagine all that waste!) Clever and talented Lucy designed the CAPtivate to use this waste, turning it into an ambient light, different bottle caps can be screwed on to change the colour and pattern of the light., we are going to have sooooo much fun having a play around with these at Pure!
To add a little more funk we will be
displaying a range of shoes on the fabulous Ramen stools designed by Corinna
Warm, we couldn’t take our eyes off these stools when we first saw them at
the Clerkenwell Design week, all we kept thinking was LOVE, NEED, WANT, NOW!
We will be posting up our pics. from Pure on the blog next week, if you're a fashion buyer and looking for stylish shoes and accessories come and see us at stand Fo102, we would love to see you there!
