Vintage Shoe Clips Coming Into Style Again

AbsolutelyAudrey.com, an online retailer of women’s accessories, sells shoe clips that transform plain shoes into glamorous shoes. The company converts vintage earrings, brooches and pendants into embellished shoe ornaments. Shoe ornaments are attached on shoes to give them multiple fashionable uses. Shoe clips are created with materials such as rhinestones, fabric, enamel and leather for various occasions such as casual, evening, wedding or prom. Absolutely Audrey shoe clips are multifaceted and can not only be clipped onto shoes. They can be attached on clothing like jeans, shirts and jackets as well as other accessories such as handbags, scarves, hats and belts. Crisa Mitrou, the founder, believes that, “Shoe clips can become the accessory for the accessories.â€

Once a footwear staple for every fashionable woman, shoe clips gradually disappeared as companies created shoes with built-in ornaments. Absolutely Audrey believes that with the right touch of elegance and sophistication, the shoe clip trend can be successfully revived. With the latest footwear trend of jeweled shoes, designer footwear prices tend to be high for embellished shoes. Absolutely Audrey suggests an alternative to costly designer shoes. Women can update their wardrobe faster and follow emerging fashion trends without spending a large amount of money on designer shoes.

“A fashionable woman nowadays is creative with her wardrobe, she can transform her existing shoe collection by attaching various shoe clip styles onto her shoes,†said Mitrou. Absolutely Audrey’s shoe clips have also been gaining popularity amongst brides and bridesmaids. It is an affordable way for the bride and her bridesmaids to share their wedding theme with matching shoe clips. Brides add clip-on shoe clips to their wedding shoes and clutches and also use them as gifts for their bridesmaids. Bridesmaids attach matching shoe clips to their shoes instead of purchasing new shoes for the bridal event.

The company offers a variety of shoe clip styles from casual designs, to evening wear. The company has three shoe clip lines: Vintage Line (unique vintage sets), the Chic Line (latest fashion trends) and the Bridal Line (wedding sets). Shoe clip prices range from $20 -$45 per pair.

Mitrou was inspired by her mother, an avid collector of vintage shoe clips, as well as the renowned fashionable actress, Audrey Hepburn. Absolutely Audrey’s products are sold in various boutiques nationwide as well as online at http://www.absolutelyaudrey.com.

    Sweet! Those are cute retro looks. I also suggest for very stylish and modern (not vintage) shoe clips check out www.alizadarik.com. They are so amazing! I have started a collection of them because they make my shoes look like designer Jimmy Choos or Manolos!!!!!
