Pepe shoes

I've been meaning to write about Pepe shoes for a while, but their website has forever been "a work in progress." I guess they have better things to do, like make fabulous shoes. Finally, I found a couple online shops that carry them. These, plus their half-completed website, should give you the idea, and then you can beg your local kids store to carry them. And beg you just might, because Pepe shoes are gorgeous. Cute as they are, these picture don't even do them justice. Made in Italy, Pepe's styles are both adorable and original, and the leather is unbelievably soft and finely tooled. I always drool over the selection at Makie in New York (which carries Pepe's sandals in silver and has some adult styles too). You can get them at Little Fashion Gallery (thanks again Bloesem), Raffaello and Freaky Shopping.
