Wedding season fast approaching for mother of the bride or groom


  1. That time of year again!.
    Mothers of the brides and grooms are searching for that perfect ensemble for the fast approaching big day.
    As we all know designer wear is expensive and considering that your outlay is for a few hours it makes you feel as if your being over extravagant.
    Considering that a venue catering for under a 100 guests could be in the region of £4000-5000.
    We at Designer shoes not designer prices offer you Italian designer shoes with matching bags for a fraction of the original prices .We also offer once used (very light wear to sole) uppers in immaculate condition.You will be the only one that will be able to tell your shoes have been worn once. Naturally, the once used designer shoes and matching sets are even more affordable than our new and unworn stock. So treat yourself to the best for less, and know that you are not spending more money than you are comfortable with.
    We offer a "No Quibble" guarantee so you can relax knowing if there is a problem, or you are unhappy with any aspect you will be refunded the item price and postage paid if you choose to return your items. Please see our Returns conditions.
    So far this season silver and Coral seem very popular with our clientele.
    Our range includes Renata Italy, Jacques Vert Italy, Magrit Spain, and the much loved Gina of London.We also offer designer evening and special occasions bags to match your existing shoes at very affordable prices .
    Our one tip for mothers of the bride or groom is choose a heel height that will be comfortable all day.The majority of our shoes have a 3 inch heel,some Jacques Vert designs are 2.5.
    Please remember that vintage Gina come up a little small, and we compensate for this by listing as  the next size down. Jacques Vert shoes, on the other hand, are very generous and they will normally fit a size larger than stated on the shoe,so listed at the next size up.
    If you are a mother of the bride or groom but are searching for that special pair of occasions shoes or bag at a price you can afford, we do have many more designer labels to choose from.
    Hope to see you  in store soon!

High street fashion shoes or quality designer shoes ?

Hi and thanks for stopping by our blog.
So what would you choose ?High street fashion or classic designed shoes for your special occasion? Especially if you are mother of the bride or groom,as you are also the centre of attention on the big day..
We have nothing against fashion shoes,but the title says it all, fashion, and as we know fashions come and go, and when you look back at your pictures from your event you see right away that your shoes and bag are outdated now.
We and our buyers prefer the classic look,they never go out of fashion, and look as good when vintage .Obviously workmanship and quality materials play a big part in how your accessories look and last ,high street fashion is cheaper and mass-produced, and not made with durability in mind, and this reflects in the wear you get from your item.
Top quality Italian designers like Renata use 100 % leather throughout  the construction.The designs are simple and chic,with just the right amount of detailing, no blingy look, and the overall effect is pure sophistication.
Designer shoes do come more expensive, not just for the designer label but for the quality of the materials used and the finish.
We offer new and once used designer shoes and matching bags https://www.designershoesnotdesignerprices.co.uk/ourshop/for all your special occasions,mother of the bride/groom, a cruise, a christening,awards ceremony and all at very affordable prices,and whatever your choice they will never be out of fashion !

Mother of the bride/groom preferences for colour and style

Hi thanks for popping by!
The wedding season is gradually slowing down yet again,and we have time to breath!
Much as we enjoy the work involved in running the website and  answering all your queries we do look forward to a much  more relaxed pace to evaluate what is popular with our customers
As usual silver, champagne and subtle colours are top for our mothers of the bride, and we are finding that clutch bags are more popular than handbags with a shoulder chain attatched.
The shoes and bags offered in more dramatic shades like Cobalt Blue,  Red and multi colours seem more popular with guests at weddings.
We were asked if we could stock more on trend shoes with matching bags,we have considered this in the past and decided against it. We  find that mother of the bride or groom prefers a classic look, a look that will never go out of fashion ,so we have and will always stay true to that finding.
We do stock some "fashion " shoes ,at Designer shoes not designer prices ,dare i say it for the fashionista and younger generation !but in the main we cater for mother of the bride/groom, special occasions such as a cruise , christening or a day at the races sort of thing.
Now to restock and see what the  new preference is for the coming  months!
We have in stock at present these equisite  shoes and matching bag from Gina London.Sad to say we only have 1 set and they are a size 6.5. Gina  are much adored designer and worn by Royalty and top celebrities worldwide.

Designer shoe care

To maintain your leather designer shoes in perfect condition we recommend you clean them regularly with one of the many specialist polishes on sale that match the colour of your shoes
We actually recommend you do this before your first wearing.
keep shoe trees in your shoes to retain shape and to prevent creasing, especially on very soft kid leather shoes.
Most good designer shoes are all leather and that includes the sole. When the time comes to have repairs done to renewing the sole we do not recommend stick on replacements, leather soles are recommended.
As leather is very porous we recommend you wear your shoes a few times on dry days and on concrete as the grit picked up actually helps your leather soles fibres to tighten, and make them more resilient to wear
.When worn in wet conditions the leather has the opposite effect and loosens the fibres, and also leaves water stains on the soles and can leave stains on the uppers as well when used in very wet conditions..
Looked after and cared for properly your designer shoes will last you many years.

Busy busy busy!!!

Few minutes to keep you all updated.
The wedding season has started with a vengeance! We are so busy , not that we are complaining!
I wanted to share something with you that set me thinking! 
I was asked recently why we have so much detail on our listings, and to save time why do i not just have colour, style number and heel height!.Well ,although that seems to be the normal for the majority of designer shoe retailers, we like to think that at designershoesnotdesignerprices we go the extra mile!.
Choosing your wedding shoes with a matching baghttp://www.designershoesnotdesignerprices.co.uk/ourshop/ is a very important task, your choice can make or break your carefully chosen outfit, and remember what it cost!!
We go into fine details about colour, trimmings, even if we think the colour on the box does not fit what we believe it to be, then we tell you, we point out any imperfections on both new and our once used items , we do not believe in disappointing our customers. We tell it as it is,give you close ups of details, so you can make an informed decision about your purchase and, you won't get any nasty shocks when you take delivery of your items.
Considering that designer items are expensive, although we offer you them at greatly reduced prices, they are still an expensive purchase, and we believe here at designershoesnotdesignerprices that the customer deserves to be told as much detail as possible.So yes, our listings are " long winded" and no, we make no apologies for it.
We love getting your questions and queries about anything and everything. Great satisfaction is had from knowing that we guided a customer so they made the right decision on an item. 
We love getting your reviews  and also emails with attachments with you in chosen shoes and matching bags.
We cannot keep up with the ever popular Jacques Vert range, very popular so far this season. 
We have many new additions included within the Italian designer range Renata, also Spanish Gino Vaello, very feminine  designs and gorgeous pastel shades.Gina of London are classic designed ,very popular, and never go out of fashion,there are 2 categories, 1 for Gina shoes alone, other shoes and matching bags.
Magrit are also very popular, especially with the more mature ladies who prefer a lower heel. 
Although we also carry a large selection designer heels for the younger set, we are, and always will be aiming our items at the more mature and wedding guest fraternity. 
Please remember that selecting your size from the category page will display all items in that shoe size, so much quicker!
Back to fulfilling orders:)
