LAURA SEE | LAURA SEE LONDON WWW.LAURASEELONDON.COM
Tell us about your company... Laura See London creates luxurious, high-quality footwear aimed at women who enjoy looking stylish, feeling incredibly comfortable and living life to the full. What’s your most popular product? We have two that have been equally popular this year, both from the SS collection, the Stellula 85 in lavender and Esmeralda 105 in blue. Why do you love what you do? Being creative makes me happy and Laura See London’s a dream come true as it combines my passion for art and shoes. I’ve always loved painting and working with colours to create vibrant patterns. These designs are printed onto the leather of every pair of shoes giving them an additional pop of colour and making them stand out from the crowd. I love knowing that women around the world are choosing to buy the shoes I’ve designed and made. It’s hugely satisfying. Why should couples choose local suppliers for their wedding? Buying locally helps to reduce our carbon footprint whilst doing our bit to keep indie businesses alive and thriving. Without the independent suppliers our high streets will start to die and our communities that are so familiar and special will be lost. What’s your signature style? The high-heeled sandal that features more of my artwork than some of the other styles. It’s designed to be the perfect occasion and party shoe that not only looks incredibly stylish but is extremely comfortable to wear – no need to bring flats to change into halfway through the night when you’re wearing a pair of Laura See London sandals! 51
