What inspires Sole of Summer!

Quite simply ‘summer’ inspires Sole of Summer!

All the vibes of summer from the places visited to the time spent with family and friends.

Not just travels overseas but the sunny relaxed days spent at home in the garden with family and days spent spontaneously at the coast with friends. When the garden is alive with a rainbow of colourful flowers and the seaside beach huts, a riot of bright colours in the glow of the afternoon sun. (Every time l visit Wells beach I notice a different beach hut, their paint colours, an endless source of inspiration on the doorstop).

In the depths of the winter we crave those warm carefree days when we can walk out the house without a coat, multiple layers and welly boots. To be able to slip on shoes, barefoot, to head out for the day. It is the summer feeling l crave all year round.

Espadrilles capture those carefree moments in a traditional and simple shoe perfect for those summer moments both special and every day, when we slip on our shoes and head out to enjoy the weather.

Shoes inspired by and named after places that they would look right at home in. A beach club in Ibiza or a fancy restaurant in St. Tropez. From Rome to Antibes and Capri to Mallorca and not forgetting the British seaside with our Burnham Loafers for men. Norfolk will always have a strong feature in our collections. The coastal towns and villages encapsulate those British summertime feels. Heading out for a relaxed stroll with an ice cream calls for an espadrille to be slipped on.

Inspired by the timeless classic look of espadrilles worn by the actresses of the Golden Era of movies but elevating them to be a brightly coloured head turners. Taking them up a notch, to reflect the personality of the wearer. When the sun is shining we want to let our inner peacock personality shine. Time to step up, dress up and change it up when the sun shines!
