Every now and again when I am shopping, or if I am offered to try a product I think to myself, ‘Why not step outside your comfort zone Lady M? Why not choose something that you think you would absolutely NEVER wear?’
It’s risky right? I mean you can more often than not end up with a dud choice. Australian label ‘The Horse‘ who are a husband and wife team from NSW offered to send me a pair of my choice and I think I’ve hit a little gold mine.
I bought a pair of blue suede heels last year and they have sat unworn, but perhaps because these are a shoe/boot and create a completely different vibe are just so wearable. 100% leather including the sole these are the ‘Hermine‘ in the photos but they also have a range of styles encompassing summer to winter.
I sent through some interview questions because I was just so curious about who the people were behind the label. I’ve not had a reply as yet but I have a vision of these uber cool, hipster-esq(in a good way) glamour couple who live in an amazing minimalist house in the country with a spaniel. Maybe with a retro vibe…the house not the spaniel.
Anyhow until I meet them one day I shall wear my ‘Hermine‘ and continue to make up stories about the type of people that might wear ‘The Horse,’ or the mysterious couple behind the label.
Blue suede shoes, right on!
What I’m wearing:
Leather jacket: ‘The Heraldry’ from Decujba
Jeans: Men’s Industry jeans…didn’t think they would fit or be comfortable but they sure are!
Scarf: Sussan
Jewellery: All Edenborough Evans
Shoes: ‘Hermine’ from The Horse

Great boot!
Love the height of the heel.
Perfect for winter in Victoria…as long as it’s not raining that is. 🙂
Thanks for putting the spotlight on an Australian made shoe!
Cheers,
Laura
Love it when you introduce us to Australian designers Lady M! Your blue suede shoes look very cool x
love them!
Lady Melbourne, there is a profile of the couple behind The Horse label in the May/June 2012 issue of frankie magazine. They seem to be a very clever and very lovely pair. I hope that you hear from them soon as their shoes are marvelous.
Gorgeous shoes 🙂
Beautiful shoes 🙂 I really like your scarf too! 🙂
