Agnes & Norman

A gorgeous new shoe boutique has opened in the elegant Great Western Arcade in Birmingham. The shoe designs are based on vintage styles from the 1920s to the 1950s and are handmade in a family-​run factory in Spain, all are leather lined and either leather or suede.
The shop itself is pure eye candy with beautiful interior styling by AVA Event Styling, the staff are highly knowledgable and very friendly and approachable.
Downstairs is home to Agnes & Norman ladies collection, upstairs for mens and Rachel Simpson Bridal range.
Shoes range from £120-£165 which is brilliant for hand-​made designer shoes, there are also some discontinued bridal shoes which are much cheaper.
The boutique opened on Sat 9^th June 2013 and there is 25% off all shoes until 16^th June.
I am being 100% open in saying that I am delighted to be a part of this enterprise but also as a shopper this is like my dream shop! Please pop and and write your own independent review :)

Eight children and twenty-​two grandchildren later, in 2001 one of those granddaughters became a shoe designer, travelling to shoe factories around the world. Several years later in 2008 she launched her own shoe company…
The inspiration behind the debut collection is told through a beautiful series of photographs taken of four friends whose trip to the seaside ends with the beginning of a beautiful love story.»
