It’s Time For A London Sole Giveaway!

We are very excited to share news about another fabulous giveaway with our friends at London Sole. (You may want to pay particular attention to the flats shown in the upper left of this picture.)

London Sole Blog

Many readers know of the brand started by Jane Winkworth, she is described by VOGUE magazine as “The Queen of Ballet Flats”. Loved by royals, celebrities and ‘just plain folks,’ the footwear is increasingly popular.

More on the brand from the Daily Mail:

The Duchess of Cambridge ordered some new pairs just last month. Kate’s sister Pippa and mother Carole are big fans too, as are Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, not to mention a host of A-list celebrities including Madonna, Angelina Jolie, Katie Holmes, Helen Mirren, Sarah Jessica Parker and Emma Watson.

Kate wears the Pirouette and Henrietta styles, below we show the Quilted Henrietta.

From the London Sole website:

Back to the Daily Mail’s story:

Now Jane’s most famous customer is the woman who would have been Diana’s daughter-in-law. “I am very lucky that the Middletons wear my shoes without me even asking,” she says.

“Carole wore them first and then the girls followed. The Duchess was in a few weeks ago picking up some pairs. She likes the Henrietta style.”

Ms. Winkworth shared these thoughts about the Duchess’s style:

When she wears my shoes, we have sold out of that style within two hours. We take calls all day long and emails from around the world wanting the shoes she has worn. She has model good looks, perfect manners and style, she is gracious and compassionate, she has the best legs on the planet and could wear a bin- bag and look sensational. She is helping British fashion and retail right back onto its feet and we love and applaud her for it.

It is wonderful to see the company’s growth on both sides of the pond, those interested in following London Sole on Twitter can do so in the following ways:

But we have strayed from our primary purpose, I apologize. Back to the contest, the lucky winner will win a pair of these fabulous flats.

London Sole Henrietta UK Flag Design

That is the London Sole Henrietta UK Flag style, something the company sold out of almost as soon as they received them earlier this year.

The Henrietta is the ultimate in luxury ballet flats, our most popular style! Spanish made, rubber soles, leather lining, and leather insoles – all with fully adjustable laces.

Now the shoe is back in stock, but once again flying out the door.
