Spring Sandal Fling
What a long Winter it was. I’m so glad that we’re over the Winter hump and that Spring is finally here. Now that it’s Spring, it means we can get off the couch, get outdoors more and socialise more. In Spring I love to bike ride, take long walks on the beach and fill my house with beautiful Spring flowers. It even means I can start wearing floaty, light dresses and of course my newest Sandal 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...

I have designs in bright happy red, yellow and even Granny Smith green. Check them out above and below but if you prefer your clothing to be the dopamine part of your look then I also have several...
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...
The Best Mother’s Day Gift Ever
Made in Australia Sandals We all know that most Mums tend to put their family and children first everyday of the year, year-in-year-out. Mother’s Day is the extra special day to show Mum how much you appreciate her and love her. It’s a day to spoil her as much as possible. As the years go by it’s harder and harder to surprise Mum with a really unique gift that she’ll genuinely love. That’s where I recommend my Sandals. They’re handcrafted with love (by me) in limited edition quantities, so they are genuinely unique. I’m sure Mum will feel pretty special...
