Not just a pretty shoe
Perhaps I am a magpie when it comes to colour but Hetty’s bold and eclectic use of colour and pattern certainly draws the eye. Apart from being handmade, what sets this label apart from others is the vintage Japanese kimonos used as uppers making these handmade shoes not only a work of art but eco friendly as well. I like the fact that Hetty transforms vintage Japanese kimonos into a practical and usable fashion accessory capturing a part of asian history that is fast disappearing in Japan. Due to a more western style of dress, Kimono’s are now only worn on special occasions in Japan.
Perfect for the woman who dares to be different
Hetty Rose's bespoke ladies shoes are perfect for the woman who dares to be different and who values quality and uniqueness above ephemeral trends. These are not shoes that will go out of style but will enhance any shoe collection for a long time. Like the Kimono which is a valuable piece of clothing, Hetty’s shoes are a priceless addition to any wardrobe that you can wear time and time again.
Have you ever owned a pair of handmade shoes?
With a degree in Footwear Design & Development from the London College of Fashion, designer Henrietta Rose Samuels has been designing and making fabulously comfortable and stylish shoes since 2004. If you have never had a pair of shoes specially handcrafted for your feet well now’s your chance to create that bespoke ladies shoe for that special occasion or that unique outfit.
Be warned it can take between 4-8 weeks for Hetty to create your bespoke shoe but as I am sure you would agree it is well worth the wait as you simply cannot rush art. Click here to view Hetty Rose's distinctive Spring/Summer 2009 Collection.
