This is a post I have had pending in the background and I am now so pleased to be publishing.
Since day 1 have said that I would like as much of my shoes to be made in the UK as possible. Since then, views have waivered and quotes have scared me. In the past I have had things made from abroad purely because the price difference was incomparable. When working on a shoe string budget (pun intended), these things really matter.
A big Hello to my Lucy Rose community. I’m thinking of calling you ‘Roses’, but we can work on that!
I wanted to write this blog to introduce myself and the business on a more personal note. The business idea came to me when I was in the back of my mum’s car one Friday evening driving through my home town and seeing all the girls take off their shoes after a night out. I was 17 years old at the time and I thought there had to be a better way of solving this literal ‘pain point’ than to take them off or change shoes (which I know many working women do also).
