Venus
Rich Red & Chocolate embossed suede
|
| |
|
|
| |
 |
|
|
| |
Venus, the Italian goddess of love and beauty. Back in ancient times, Venus acquired the mythology of the Greek goddess of love, Aphrodite, on Mount Eryx in Sicily. Venus was chosen specifically as the name for this style as it has been designed with love and much passion, to highlight the sensuality of every woman and her overall beauty...mesmerising us to fall in love. Venus in gorgeous Italian two-tone suede is available in rich red & chocolate or deep blue and chocolate! |

Athena
Beige calf and python embossed leather
|
| |
|
|
| |
 |
|
|
| |
Athena is the goddess of wisdom, war, strategy, justice and skill. A companion of heroes and goddess of heroic endeavour. Athena had the city of Athens named after her. The Athenians built the Parthenon on the Acropolis in her honour. As a child I studied Greek Mythology and was inspired by the inner strength & beauty of this goddess. |

Alexis
Black suede and calf leather
|
| |
|
|
| |
 |
|
|
| |
From Ancient Greek meaning "helper" or "defender", Alexis was inspired partly by the English riding boot. I wanted to enhance it and create an understated luxury boot. Hence the addition of the three braids of leather and suede and a decorative leather lace. Ideal for walking in the city or country, weekdays or weekends. A comfortable, luxurious boot available in both chocolate and black. |

Monica
Black nappa with Swarovski
|
| |
|
|
| |
 |
|
|
| |
Monica is inspired by the sensual female form. Sensuality seems somewhat overlooked today. I wanted to highlight the sensual parts of a woman's foot, using oval (Greco/Roman-inspired) shapes with sparkling diamantes. The name Monica, is a tribute to an Italian, brunette beauty I adore (after my wife!) - the illuminous Monica Bellucci. The Italian actress epitomises 'la dolce vita' in the 21st century...she oozes considerable charm. This is so powerfully intrinsic in the soul of my Monica footwear creation. Every woman deserves to wear Monica to experience and delight in her charm and sensuality! |

Angelina
Bronze metallic leather with Swarovski
|
| |
|
|
| |
 |
|
|
| |
Angelina is inspired partly by my infatuation with modern day screen siren, the beautiful Angelina Jolie who with little effort manages to always sparkle like the diamantes on our Angelina shoe!
The meaning of Angelina derives from the Greek 'angelos' which means 'angel'. Coincidentally my surname is 'angelis' but my friends would reassure you I am far from that! |

Bulgaria
Black embossed suede with Swarovski
|
| |
|
|
| |
 |
|
|
| |
Bulgaria is a creation of seemingly understated luxury. A delicate, feminine sandal which reveals the sensual female foot. As we cast our eye up to her ankle, the sandal undergoes a metamorphosis, becoming a beautiful naked woman, wearing nothing but a multiple diamond necklace (in this instance Swarovski diamantes!). Bulgaria was so named due to my fondness for the iconic Bulgari luxury brand. I have an affinity with the design philosophy of the Greek-born founder and designer Mr Sotirios Voulgaris (1857-1932), who also had an appreciation for Greek and Roman art. |
