Phillipa Lepley x Emmy London
Two iconic British brands, trusted by brides the world over, have come together with an exciting collaboration. An exquisite Phillipa Lepley wedding or couture dress paired with beautiful Emmy London hand-embroidered shoes is a match made in heaven.
Both hailing from Chelsea and with female founders at the helm, Phillipa Lepley and Emmy London are experts in their crafts and leaders in their respective fields in the luxury bridal world. They are completely focused on making the most beautiful pieces for their clients’ special occasions and have shared a mutual respect for a long time. They have worked together in the past so it made perfect sense to come together to create a unique shoe option which acts as an elegant and subtle way to create a truly complete outfit.
THE CREATIVE PROCESS
The shoes take three months to make and are hand embroidered onto fine tulle then stretched and mounted over ivory suede. Brides can choose a style of shoe from Emmy London and then confirm a Phillipa Lepley embroidery design that matches their dress.
The shoes talk to our dresses, says Phillipa, and the dress seamlessly blends into the shoes to create a complete bridal look in such a unique bespoke way. It’s also wonderful to think about the shoes being worn multiple times after their wedding day on many other occasions.
Wild flowers, one of the four embroidery designs, features muted tones of specific wild flowers organically growing in such a way that each shoe is different from the other.
“I admire Phillipa hugely; her aesthetic is nothing less than perfection. Our shoes, handmade together with precision, care and love, are delicate, detailed and unique – created to be treasured forever.”
