Lime Green Summer
Citrus or lime green was the hottest fashion colour in shoes and accessories this Summer in Europe. I loved seeing my favourite Instagram girl Leonie Hanne in lime green sandals and now sparkly lime green boots heading into Winter. I make my Amanda Sandals in a stunning shade of apple green.

Celeste Barber Tribute Sandals

So as a tribute to Celeste I’ve named this black design Celeste and the profits from all Celeste sales will be donated to Wires Wildlife Rescue and Australian Red Cross. A big thank you...
