Luxury footwear brand Louise Leah launches
March sees the launch of luxury footwear brand Louise Leah for spring/summer 2015. Created by Australian-born London-based designer, Louise Leah draws on inspiration from cities that she has lived and worked in including Sydney, Paris and London. Louise combines fourth-generation Italian craftsmanship with the finest materials to create a collection of heels and flats. Styled to fit like a glove, the soles are covered in poron, a special padded memory foam, protecting the foot from heel to toe. Signature styles feature a spin on classic shoe shapes with slim buckle straps, cut-out designs, animal prints, black wooden beads, nappa leathers and soft suede. Themes for the debut collection include subtle patterns and textural details, with colorways that feature a warm infusion of earthy tones from forest green and rich khaki to soft camel and deep yellow with a dash of vibrant burnt orange. Hero pieces in the debut collection include flat gladiator styles such as the Savannah, which comes in exotic black zebra pony skin, and the Nomad, in black, camel or zebra. Prices range from £345 to £615.
