Apart from being the best footwear for your baby because all of the above – the shoes we sell are simply
so beautiful! We love taking them for a mini photo session outdoors, they even travel on holidays with us
so that we can snap some photos giving them beautiful backdrop

As much as we want to depict all the true colours and textures, sometimes you may notice variation in shades
or even shapes! Majority of our stock is handmade (Emel brand), so each pair is individual – they are not
machine mass-produced hence some inequalities will apply. So when you receive your babies shoes they may
vary slightly from the picture on the product page. We hope this is understandable and acceptable.
We usually stock maximum of 2 pairs of each size so our products are subject to availability
