To Dye Or Not To Dye...?

A rhetorical question if you ask me. 

We have now introduced FREE swatch dyeing on all Else shoes on our website. 

This dyeing service is great for bridesmaids or even if you're just going out to a special occasion. Matching shoes are also very popular for mother of the bride as it means you can look wonderful and elegant all day long.

Then again this service is not just limited to everyone other than the bride! Many times we have seen brides wanting to dyeing their shoes different colours to stand out and be different. Dyeing your wedding shoes blue can even act as your 'something blue' for the day. A brilliant idea in my mind. 


Our dyeing service is also great for after your big day when you want to wear your shoes again but white or ivory is just not practical enough. Visit our sister site www.dyemyshoes.co.uk and we can dyeing them to any colour you would like. Standard colours are great as black goes with everything! Some bags can also be dyed so you don't have to worry about miss-matched accessories. Even if you haven't brought the shoes from us we are still more than happy to dye them for you.

Cava by Else

Personally I love the coloured shoe craze at the moment and believe it can really spice up this industry. Whether you want to match your colour theme or go a bit out there this really is a great way to make your special day a bit different.

Trash The Dress. Do You Dare?

Trash the dress is a style of wedding photography that contrasts an elegant wedding dress with an environment where it is deemed out of place. This craze was started in 1998 when a character out of the TV show Sunset Beach ran into the sea after her wedding was rudely interrupted.

This concept is a very fun thing to be a part of as it means you can have different memories. Normally the usual wedding photography will take place at a wedding but trash the dress gives the bride something else to use her wedding dress for instead of it gathering dust at the back of the wardrobe. Trash the dress gives the bride a brilliant opportunity to show off her dress once again whilst also being part of a more fashion orientated photo shoot.

After the shoot you will then have a very unique piece of “artwork” so to speak to display proudly on the wall that can also act as an interesting anecdote to all friends who ask. I would recommended this to anyone getting married as it is such a great thing to be involved in.

NEW IN: Original Sole heel & sole protectors.

Original Sole, their story...

Original Sole is an Australian owned company specialising in unique & innovative shoe accessories. They have a passion for shoes and have developed products to make it even more enjoyable to wear them!
They have a strong commitment to product development, design and style. Original Sole was developed to fill a need in the market for solutions for wearing your stylish shoes. There are currently 2 main products Shoe Sole Grips & Heel Huggers.

  　

Red Heart, Clear or Cream available

 SOLE GRIPS were developed to help women to be able to walk with confidence in their shoes. Make no mistake about it, whether they are completely flat shoes, wedges, boots or 5 inch stilettos, the base of most shoes soles are made with little or no grip, and most of us have embarrassing slipping stories to tell! Applying a Shoe Sole Grip helps to prevent these moments from happening. What more could you ask for?!

HEEL HUGGERS are the other fabulous product from Original Sole. They are a unique, brand new product world wide (patent pending).
Managing Director & shoe lover Vanessa Moskos, wanted to find solutions to help prevent ruining beautiful heels. “Call me clumsy, but my heels would always manage to find the smallest holes or cracks in sidewalks, and then ruin my heels. My heart would stop every time I had to check my heels to see if I had damaged them…. which most of the time I would have! I had enough of throwing my beautiful shoes away because of the heels looking worn and damaged and decided that there must be a way to protect them, without comprising the look of my shoes.
So I was determined to find a solution. My partner and I put our heads together, combining two different trains of thought – mine, looking from the fashion side of things and his, for the technical and material aspect. With extensive research, design and engineering, the Heel Huggers were born!! Now women everywhere can walk with style and confidence in their shoes."
We are so pleased with the overwhelming positive response we have received for our shoe accessories. We can’t wait to release more exciting products for shoe lovers to enjoy!

Happy Customer

We have recently received a lovely testimonial from Nicole Jenkins who purchased a pair of Shades 509 shoes to then have them covered in crystals by us.

"I ordered a pair of shoes with you a few months back and also had the full Swarovski detailing. Im sorry its taken me so long to reply but I just had to write and tell you how impressed I am by firstly your sevice and secondly "THE" shoes.

The crystals sparkle in any light and are the envy of all my friends... they are currently sitting in my glass cabinet awaiting my wedding this coming september. I have passed on your details to anyone who has asked about them. I am looking forward to my 1st anniversary (2012) where im hoping my then husband will buy me another pair in red crystals as im now hooked. Normal shoes just dont feel the same anymore!"

We have also asked Nicole for a picture of the shoes on the big day so keep watching out for that!

Kirsten has a 4inch heel with a platform to add comfort to a higher style shoe. The peep toe is also great for feet that get a little squashed in closed toe shoes and provides room for movement. The subtle, classy design is great for any style of dress and the strap ensures that they stay on as you dance throughout the night.
