A new footwear store for East Dulwich

[macroban]

I'm sure younger members will understand this.

Is this good, or bad?

Interesting the article says she is planning to open the ED store.

Jimmy Choo is a shoe god.

[Lawboy]

The photo in the article shows them in front of a Davina's Boutique sign. Mehinks the choo shop is already open.

[missd]

havent been in there yet but this will definitely tempt me. LOVE Jimmy Choo

[HonaloochieB]

Is Choo the one who produces 'f@ck me slingbacks'?

[VeryBerryCherry]

*sniff sniff*

Did I smell the leather of a new shoe store?

[KM]

unless you have seriously bad taste in footwear I wouldn't bother... not one nice shoe in the whole shop. The store on Northcross road is MUCH nicer.

[lard]

They may not be to your taste. Taste is subjective, ie impossible to be "bad" or "good". Especially when you are talking about one of the leading footwear designers in the world.

Jimmy Choo has nothing to do with the design of shoes in Davina Boutiqe.

He is the mentor and second cousin of the woman who owns it.

[Brendan]

I only recently found out that Jimmy Choo isn?t a type of sweetie.

[bon3yard]

Apart from The Inoffensively bland White Stuff, there really is nothing at all geared towards men in the area. WHYISTHIS?

[oblivion]

MrChoo must have owed his second cousin a favour. This wont be doing his reputation any good at all. Surely as Mentor he should have said something right from the start.... the name of the shop for starters... in any case, she has a SALE on already. Perhaps she wont even see the year out.... perhaps she should head back down Bromley way

[shoshntosh]

has anyone heard of the new shoes called "limos". apparently so vertiginously high that you can only manage to walk from your front door to the limo in them. made by christian laboutin.

dulwich mum... are you wearing these on holiday?

[Asset]

everyone has sales at this time of year. New season stuff comes in soon.

bland bland bland middle aged shoes on northcross road (correction - in the however long it's been there, I have seen one nice pair). davina may be tat, (although I've said it before, I've seen a couple of good uns) but by golly they're young and spunky. problem is that we folks of ED just ain't. we LIKE the White Stuff. well some of us.

[Cassius]

Nah - Jimmy Choo's are OK - but a big vulgar - in my opinion Manolo Blanik rocks....

[James]

I am young and spunky, thanks very much! And I can't stand White Stuff (the shop, that is. Not spunk itself).

[RosieH]

hurrah for you james and your spunkiness. keep it up. denounce the croc, reject the white stuff, and just say no to jojomamanbebe.

more like you please. and while you're at it, grab yourself a pair of diamante slingbacks from Davina - they're rockin'

[NatashaD]

There isn't a single shop in the area that I would deem 'good taste', so Davina Boutique fits into the area well. I saw 4 'Dulwich Daddies' running about in their Crocs today, which was enough to make me storm out of the park in a fit of pique. At least one of the men, who was chasing his toddler around and talking ghastly 'parentese', had a beige pair on...fairly inconspicuous.

On topic - good luck to Davina Boutique. She has presumably done some research on the area before opening up shop. I've thought over the years several shops would go bust, and they seemingly never have. I would not be so impertinent as to state why I think this is.

[VeryBerryCherry]

Beige crocs.

That about sums up the "fashion" of East D

[NatashaD]

LOL VBC. Couldn't agree more.
