With all the trends we’ve witnessed, old styles being made new and classics reinvented, it’s hard to imagine that anything is “new” anymore. There is one movement, however, that may almost be considered just that. Removable accessories are just beginning to make their mark in the shoe industry and everyone from brand names to couture designers are jumping on board. Keep reading to see our shoe accessories giveaway below.
Legwarmers from Bootzwalla jumped on the scene a few seasons back and paved the way for shoe accessory designers. Taking everything that’s great about flashy, Aspen-inspired boots, and making them accessible for the masses is what Bootzwalla is all about. The key is in the simple versatility. One legwarmer-designed shaft can be worn with a dozen different shoes to create a collection of new styles. From fringe to leather, there’s a design for just about everyone.
Freya Rose, out of the UK, offers a shoe accessory collection that allows clients to custom-design their formal footwear. Currently marketing toward formal and bridal footwear, the collection acts like couture jewelry for your feet and includes brooches made of Swarovski-crystals, Mother of Pearl, and silk-designed embellishments, as well as Mother of Pearl-covered heels. While the accessory collection is exclusively marketed to be used with Freya Rose shoes, her footwear collection is so delectable, it’s worth the splurge.
The newest member of the shoe accessory market and among one of our favorites, is Erica Giuliani. Offering a broad range of shoe accessories, from zipper-embellished ruffle shoe clips and glitzy vamp buckles to fringe straps, heels chains, and studded boot belts, Erica Giuliani makes clip-on shoe accessories for every man. The best part about this collection is that Erica Giuliani only makes shoe accessories, which means you’re free to create your very own unique style, by trying them on every single shoe in your closet.
Couture designers, like DSQUARED2 and Omelle have seen a place for the removable accessories, as well. These booties from the Nordic designers have been embellished with a removable studded vamp belt, while the Omelle rabbit fur cuff is sold separately so you can add it to your favorite pair of Omelle’s or another shoe you already have sitting among your coveted brood.
For more ways to embellish your existing shoe collection, check out Aldo Shoes, where you’ll find rocker-chic belt harnesses and two-for-one shoe chains for all your styling needs. Shoe accessories can do anything from redesigning an old pair of pumps to personalizing a classic wedding heel. It may still be just another “reinvention” but it’s oen you can use over and over and over again.
