| At the Jimmy Choo Sloane Street Boutique in the permanent Made to Order installation |
One of my most worn shoes ever, and one that I
recommend to all my friends who want to build the perfect wardrobe, is the Jimmy Choo black Agnes – it's the perfect pointy court, with a commute-proof 85mm/3.3cm heel that I have often wished I owned in every colour of the rainbow, to
match everything I own.
Well, Jimmy Choo has taken this wish
several steps forward and launched a new bespoke service called "Jimmy Choo Made-To-Order" that allows you to pick from four classic Choo hero styles (in order below: the Lance, the Anouk,
the Xenia and the Tite), custom the heel height and then choose from
an array of luxe fabrics including leather, silks, satin and exotic skins in
every colour you can think of, all to make up your picture-perfect shoe. And to
finish your dream shoe off you can even get your initials (or symbols) added to the back of
your soles in gold letters.. My idea of heaven!
Now, it doesn't come cheap (prices start at £475.00), but a special occasion, a big
birthday, a fabulous party or your wedding calls for something extraordinary, so I instantly thought that WIT readers
(and especially brides to-be) would want to know about this dreamy service. I went in to test it myself and brought my friend and photographer Eva with me to snap away as I browsed the collection and chose my perfect shoe. It was a fairytale experience, here is a little diary from the day...

| Could this be what I have gone for? |
I won't be revealing which style I went for just yet.. it will be a surprise and all in part two of this post at the end of July. I have given it a lot of thought and went for a style that I will love forever but equally feels special and just me!
The
Made-to-order service is available at the Sloane Street boutique

Love your broderie blouse, where from? Looking forward to seeing the chosen shoes!
I use to spend a lot of money on my shoes. Sadly due to being extremely heavy footed...my heels seem to scuff and wear down quickly.....I don't have the feet for nice shoes....does anyone have any tips....I'm 5foot 5 and weigh 116lbs so I'm not overweight...my bit toes put holes in canvas shoes as well...;(
Oh Lordy, I so want a pair of customised JCs. Total foot envy and can't wait to see your choice x

I always thought that taking a trip to the store was luxurious enough to grab Jimmy Choos, little do I know about made to order services! I'll stick to Allen Edmonds from now on!
