It's that crazy time of year where we have way too much to tell you all at once (and so does everybody else in e-commerce), so I guess I'll just start with...everything in random order!

First up, our long awaited and much anticipated Regency collection makes a return. As one customer put it - in the year of Bridgerton how is it possible that we *don't* have any Regency shoes!? Point taken. So ahead of Bridgerton season 2, we present the return of Hartfield boots, Bertie pumps, and Emma boots. Each comes in a variety of colors and with improved fit, materials, and comfort.

Pre-Order is open

Wait, wait, wait....European website? That's right, we have finally - after 10 years - gotten it together for our European customers, and we have opened an entirely dedicated EU site and will be fulfilling orders from the Netherlands. For the launch we are offering 55 of our styles/colors of boots and shoes along with stockings, buckles, and button hooks, all on pre-order along with the Regency Romantic collection. Every shoe on the EU site is €20/pair off through December 10th.

The prices for EU customers include VAT and all orders over €165 ship free. Returns and exchanges will also be done within the EU, so all of those nasty extra fees and hidden costs are gone. UK, Switzerland, Norway, and other EU non-member states also benefit from fast and cheap shipping, returns, and exchanges - the only difference is that prices you see on your site don't include VAT but we collect it in checkout and pay it on your behalf so you don't have anything held hostage for payment by the mail service before delivery.

For the EU site launch, we have everything on pre-order. Nothing is available from stock simply because we can't ship it from the US to the EU sustainably. Instead, we will be stocking the EU warehouse directly from the factory, so in the future we will offer in stock items just like on our US site. I'm sure you have questions, so we made a FAQ.


Lastly, a coupon - free stocking with the purchase of any shoes, valid through November 29, 2021. You must add the stockings to your shopping cart first, then enter the code in checkout for it to work. This coupon code works on both the USA and the EU sites.
