Did you hear the news?
The mecca of all shoe stores has opened in London.
Selfridges, one of the UK’s most prestigious department stores is opening the Shoe Galleries which will have over 100,000 pairs of shoes at any one time. I can’t even begin to imagine what 100,000 pairs of shoes looks like.
The shoe offering will include everything from the world’s largest Haviana wall to the latest designer collections by Christian Louboutin, Jimmy Choo, Chanel and Gucci.
To make the shoe department even more special, Selfridges has designed the six salons and 11 boutiques that will make up this colossal shoe store into themed apartments to reflect each brand. The Chanel boutique was designed as a reflection of Coco Chanel’s apartment in Paris, and the Jimmy Choo salon is adorned with hand-painted gold foil wall paper.
When I read the news about this magnificent shoe department, I had to do a little research, just to investigate all the brands that would be under one roof.
In addition to carrying some of my favorite brands like Ugg, Marc Jacobs and Elie Tahari , the Selfridges shoe emporium will carry brands like Chloe, D&G and even Nine West. One of the European lines that will be represented is the Kurt Geiger line. I didn’t know about Kurt Geiger until coming across his name on the website, but once I saw his shoe designs I had a mad crush. Check out these lovely’s designed by Mr. Geiger.
The Erica stiletto is so fab– Every girl needs a pair of animal print stilettos.
Willoughby Lace Up Boot– Such a cute boot to get me through the fall season.
Dandy Lace Up Shoe–So cute and in my favorite color too!
So, when I just can’t seem to find that perfect little ballet flat, I guess I’ll have to make a trip across the water and endure a few days in London looking at all 100,000 pairs of shoes at Selfridges. Anyone want to join me for a little shopping excursion?
until next time…
