A Leopard Print Shoe Find | Van Dal I posted this next picture on Instagram a few weeks back as I couldn't believe where these gorgeous shoes came from and it was clear that many of you who saw them on there couldn't believe it either. Scarlet Loafers in Black Suede/Jaguar Print Yes…one of my mother's favourite brands Van Dal a British brand that has made shoes in England since 1936 and still make nearly half a million pairs of shoes every year employing over 100 people in East Anglia alone. I love when a brand recognises that their demographic has moved with the times and are looking for appropriately on-trend pieces (while still catering for their original customer base). These loafers are just that. So many leopard print shoes can look a bit tragic (in my opinion…I know not all will agree) and I tend to find a shoe entirely made from leopard print too much to wear during the day (and again not all of you will agree with me on this). I guess what I'm trying to say is that I think there's something classy about these loafers and I love that they are daytime appropriate and in this next outfit workwear appropriate (all past season): Black Knit – Oliver Bonas Black Jeans – Selected Femme White Shirt – Benetton Shoes – as before Comfort wise they're fantastic as you'd expect and size wise I'm wearing the 6 so I'd say they are spot on and for anyone with a wider foot you can see the wide fit version on this link. If leopard is not your cup of tea they also come in a gorgeous red suede: Scarlet Loafers in Holly Red Suede and in black with a silver tassel…stunning! Scarlet Loafers in Black Suede and in case you think these loafers are a one hit wonder at Van Dal here are my other picks: Smithfield Brogue in Storm Pearlised Patent Mineral Casual Ankle Boots in Moss Suede Buchanan Loafers in Black Suede and finishing with these courts which come in 6 colours. What's interesting about them is that you can add avelvet mary jane detail or embellishments (sold separately) to totally transform the look of them: Albion II Courts All that's left to say is bravo Van Dal – I'm so pleased that instead of drowning in a sea of frumpiness this company is watching trends and realising that their customers have moved with the times. Oh and I should say that I was gifted the leopard loafers for the purposes of this blog post but I was not paid nor was I required to blog about them. I simply wanted to share my genuine delight at how a brand much loved by my parents' generation (my mum is 84) is making shoes that I can fall in love with too.
