Tan Enhancing White Lara Sandals
My Lara design is a favourite and a staple to have in your wardrobe every summer. I’m thrilled to say I have made them again in beautiful white leather with stunning gold hardware and a flat leather sole. The white leather is the best tan-enhancer ever and they make every summer outfit look really, really fresh. In these photos I’ve teamed them with 12 different coloured dresses to hopefully give you some fresh summer inspiration. Images: Ankalia Lara flat sandals in white leather. Handcrafted in Perth, Western Australia. Happy summer! Lots of love, Cheryl xx
Rozalia Sandals
My newest design is called Rozalia and they sold out immediately when I released them. The good news is I’m making another limited-edition batch and they’ll be up on the website in a few days-time. Images: Ankalia Rozalia black Swarovski crystal leather sandals made in Australia In-case you missed them last time they are a bit edgier than a lot of my previous designs. I call them ‘cool girl’ sandals. They’re in black leather with a big, bold Swarovski crystal design in a flower shape. The colours of the Swarovski crystals are a bit darker and edgier than other designs...
Fleur Sandals
I love releasing new sandal designs and I’m thrilled to announce that my newest design is called Fleur. The Fleur are in white leather with Swarovski crystals in 5 different pastel colours and the hardware is in gold. I can make the Fleur in either flats or with a cute little 2cm heel for that little bit of a lift. The Fleur goes with most summer colours and in particular pastel colours. Check out my photos below and if you want to order be quick because I’m confident they will sell-out quickly. Love, Cheryl xx...
My Summer Dress Finds – January 2022
Being a Summer lover and a sandal maker, I’m always on the lookout for summer dresses. In fact, I’m very much a ‘dress girl’ and I grew up with my Mum making beautiful dresses for me. I would go to bed listening to the hum of my Mum’s sewing machine and when I’d wake up in the morning there’d be a new dress hanging on my door knob. These days my Mum refuses to make dresses for me. She thinks I’m too extravagant and she thinks I have too many dresses. Anyhow, I need new dresses all the time to...
Valentines Galentines Day Red Gift Idea
Whether you want to spoil yourself or a loved one on Valentine’s Day or Galentine’s Day this year, I suggest a pair of our red sandals is probably one of the most unique “red” gifts you’ll ever give or receive. I have two different red options for you. First of all, if you prefer plain sandals then I suggest my Lisa design. They’re in a flat leather sole with a beautiful shade of red on top in stunning suede with gold hardware. If you want some bling or something a bit more extravagant then I suggest my Amanda design. They’re...
Buy Australian
There’s certainly been an increase in the push to “Buy Australian, “Shop Small” and “Shop Local” in the last few years. Particularly now since COVID-19 we need to support, not just small Australian businesses but all Australian businesses. We need to support them to help them survive and thrive. Whenever possible, I try my best to buy from small local producers or an Australian owned and operated company. Some of the small local businesses I try to support in my city of Perth, Western Australia are: Beach Street Design (coastal luxe fashion) Shiraz Cottesloe (cute shop stocking fashion, homewares, jewellery...
