Manolo Blahnik Tortoise Campari Mary Jane

By his own admission, Manolo Blahnik's design concept incorporates "good solid looks that will wear forever" along with the avant garde. This could well describe the ethos of the Manolo Blahnik Tortoise Campari Mary Jane, a shoe that features a pointed toe and a buttoned restraining strap over the instep. An elegantly shaped 3.5 inch covered heel provides the finishing touch to this charming creation. The shoe is manufactured from tortoise patent leather, set off by a tonal grosgrain trim to bring out the sheer elegance of this classically styled shoe. Anyone, who aims to purchase this style of shoe needs to ensure they order a half size larger than their normal shoe size as these Manolo Blahnik Mary Janes feature notoriously small sizing

Manolo Blahnik, who has recently been awarded the CBE, [Commander of the British Empire] is possibly one of the world's best kept secrets in the world of shoe fashion. He works totally alone, designing every single pair of shoes he has been producing since he set up in business early in the 1970s. Blahnik maintains no staff, and works completely by himself, fulfilling every function necessary for the production of the finished product - from making the wooden last to designing the subsequent advertising criteria.

One famous celebrity, Carrie Bradshaw of Sex and the City fame, is one well-known aficionado of Manolo Blahnik shoes possibly going a long way in helping promote the identity of this renowned shoe designer and his absolutely fabulous range of very expensive and stunningly striking shoes. Blahnik shoes cover an extensive range in fashion, from vertiginous heels that make walking practically impossible to sleek little numbers ideal for celebrities to sashay along the red carpets at impressive premières and elegant mules that have since become one of the classics in his collections.
