And you may also know that I can be partial to a bit of raffia on a shoe – it reminds me of summer, and really, anything that reminds … Continue reading →]]> http://www.shoeperwoman.com/2012/01/shoeperheroes-or-shoepervillains-brian-raffia-heel-colorblock-dorsay-sandals.html/feed 6 http://www.shoeperwoman.com/2011/06/charlotte-olympia-carmen-raffia-platform-wedges.html http://www.shoeperwoman.com/2011/06/charlotte-olympia-carmen-raffia-platform-wedges.html#comments Tue, 21 Jun 2011 09:37:05 +0000 Shoeperwoman ® http://www.shoeperwoman.com/?p=14427 Yes, it’s raffia again. I’m afraid so. Before you roll your eyes and click away, muttering, “Not another pair of raffia shoes!” though, just take a proper look at these: Is anyone else reminded of a ship? I know the … Continue reading →]]> http://www.shoeperwoman.com/2011/06/charlotte-olympia-carmen-raffia-platform-wedges.html/feed 6 http://www.shoeperwoman.com/2011/06/yves-saint-laurent-gipsy-105-woven-heeled-sandals.html http://www.shoeperwoman.com/2011/06/yves-saint-laurent-gipsy-105-woven-heeled-sandals.html#comments Thu, 16 Jun 2011 11:37:09 +0000 Shoeperwoman ® http://www.shoeperwoman.com/?p=14363 These shoes have their backs to us, not because they’ve done something wrong and been sent to stand in the corner, but because the heels are the most interesting thing about them. Don’t believe me? Oh, OK, here’s the side … Continue reading →]]> http://www.shoeperwoman.com/2011/06/yves-saint-laurent-gipsy-105-woven-heeled-sandals.html/feed 3 http://www.shoeperwoman.com/2011/06/raspberry-raffia-platform-shoes-from-dorothy-perkins.html http://www.shoeperwoman.com/2011/06/raspberry-raffia-platform-shoes-from-dorothy-perkins.html#comments Wed, 15 Jun 2011 11:42:04 +0000 Shoeperwoman ® http://www.shoeperwoman.com/?p=14324 I know what you’re thinking: RAFFIA? AGAIN? Yup, it’s the fabric (if “fabric” is even the right word for it) that just won’t quit right now, isn’t it? I actually didn’t realise these shoes were raffia – or that the … Continue reading →]]> http://www.shoeperwoman.com/2011/06/raspberry-raffia-platform-shoes-from-dorothy-perkins.html/feed 3 http://www.shoeperwoman.com/2011/06/dune-warren-raffia-and-suede-peep-toes.html http://www.shoeperwoman.com/2011/06/dune-warren-raffia-and-suede-peep-toes.html#comments Wed, 08 Jun 2011 11:13:06 +0000 Shoeperwoman ® http://www.shoeperwoman.com/?p=14231 Raffia and suede is a combination I don’t think I’d ever seen until this year, and suddenly it seems to be everywhere. It’s a bit of an impractical combination here in not-so-sunny Scotland, unfortunately, because those are two easily-ruined fabrics, … Continue reading →]]> http://www.shoeperwoman.com/2011/06/dune-warren-raffia-and-suede-peep-toes.html/feed 6 http://www.shoeperwoman.com/2011/06/mustard-platform-sandals-from-dorothy-perkins.html http://www.shoeperwoman.com/2011/06/mustard-platform-sandals-from-dorothy-perkins.html#comments Wed, 01 Jun 2011 09:52:25 +0000 Shoeperwoman ® http://www.shoeperwoman.com/?p=14156 I’m a little bit obsessed with yellow right now, and that’s the main reason these sandals stood out for me on the Dorothy Perkins website. Well, a colour like that is hard to ignore, isn’t it?

This time, though, they’ve really pulled it off: as soon as these appeared on my … Continue reading →]]> http://www.shoeperwoman.com/2011/04/orange-spring-raffia-suede-bow-peeptoe-shoes-from-monsoon.html/feed 3 http://www.shoeperwoman.com/2011/04/roger-vivier-leather-and-raffia-limelight-court-shoes.html http://www.shoeperwoman.com/2011/04/roger-vivier-leather-and-raffia-limelight-court-shoes.html#comments Fri, 08 Apr 2011 09:50:29 +0000 Shoeperwoman ® http://www.shoeperwoman.com/?p=12906 Raffia is big this season. No it isn’t, I just made that up. I have spotted a few shoes with this distinctive (and, I would imagine, fairly fragile) upper, the latest being these Roger Vivier court shoes.

I worry that they’d be delicate, and that I’d ruin them within minutes of putting them on, which, knowing me, is always a distinct possibility.
