Moda In Pelle

You’ll notice a lot of my reviews are focussing on sales at the moment… well, tis the season, and on (at the time of typing) this, the Monday that is supposed to be the most depressing Monday of the year (first bills after the festive period and what-​not), what better to bring cheer to yourself (girls) or any female you know than a nice pair of footpieces. Yes, there is nothing that quite lifts the spirit like a new pair of shoes, and I have to say, Moda in Pelle has one of the best sales I’ve seen in a long time.
A shy and retiring little boutique amongst the smaller Market Street shops, this branch just off St Ann’s Square is a right little gem. And as for those reductions, well, you can’t argue with a stunning pair of bright red wedge sandals reduced from £80 to £25. Yes, your eyes aren’t deceiving you, and it’d be rude not to grab them — after all, thinking of that summer holiday is probably keeping you going right now…
I’ve always found the staff in Moda in Pelle very friendly and helpful, and they give you space to browse. There’s a great range of shoes on offer too, from the aforementioned wedges (and plenty of them… I love my summer wedges, so this is a must for me) to Ugg-​esque Edhas and Daïs and biker boots, fancy courts and pretty pumps to a lovely variety of handbags. To me it feels like a nice little halfway point between the ostentatious self-​worth of Kurt Geiger and the cheerful high street demeanour of Office and Faith. If you’re after a little treat in the sale, don’t miss this one out.

There are stores that have a strong identity and style and others that aim to appeal to everyone by stocking a bit of everything. One glance at their confused window displays reinforces that Moda In Pelle fall firmly into the latter camp.
There’s no attempt to woo new customers with eye-​catching graphics or cool displays, just simple rows of heels and sparkly shoes on the bottom row, ankle boots on the middle row and knee high leather, suede and jewelled boots on the top two rows. This might work if only some of the shoes and boots in the window weren’t so damn ugly! Inside the shop is just as bad with radically different styles rubbing soles next to each other. I actually spotted a fabulous pair of white boots with tasteful silver studs but I wasn’t going to shell out £120 on them when they were next to boots I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy!
To quote teachers across the world: Must Try Harder!

I really do love this shop! Shoes for women! The shoes are reasonable prices and are good shoes which last a long time. They have many different styles and a very very large variety! This is one of my favourite shoe shops!

Ah, any ladies idea of heaven! A whole shop, dedicated to one of the things we love most, SHOES!!! I think they only sell womens shoes actually so that is an added bonus! The shoes are not cheap, but are not painfully expensive, so I can live with that, and they do have sales on, which is amazing! The shoes themselves are usually what ever is the height of fashion for the season, so you can expect styles and lines to be ever changing, which is brilliant because theres ALWAYS new shoes to buy! In a variety of material, heels, shoes, boots, sandals you just gotta love the shoes!
