Shoe Heaven ~ KG by Kurt Geiger, some of the world’s most beautiful and luxurious shoes

So announced a couple weeks ago in the drapers magazine, is the newly opened flagship store in London Covent garden on James Street.

Style arbiter Vogue magazine has already pronounced the store, ‘gorgeous’, in light of the resplendent signature colour palette and fixtures.

And it’s easy to see why, the sumptuous space includes a suspended ‘shoe chandelier’ and of course, the signature collections that make all the stylistas swoon are all available: Kurt Geiger, KG by Kurt Geiger, Fashionistas and Carvela.

The store will cater for both men and women, with over 1,000 shoes available and there is even a promise from Kurt Geiger that the store will NEVER SELL OUT!

Kurt Geiger describes the store as a seamless shopping experience and the jewel in its crown. Style bible Vogue’s August 2010 edition agrees, describing the new Covent Garden store as “luxurious, warm and inviting – the ideal place for picking out the perfect pair, or two, of shoes.”
As well as Vogue, the brands attract regular attention from the style press with a host of impressive appearances in the likes of Elle, Glamour, GQ and Grazia, amongst many more.

Kurt Geiger has a long affinity with London, with their first store opening in Bond Street in 1963. Since then, the company has seen international success, opening stores throughout the UK and the Middle East, and concessions in France, Italy and Ireland.

One of the window diplays (HOTT shoes!)

From cult classic stilettos to punchy platforms and ethnic inspired flats, the store is a sweetie shop of choice with something to suit all champions of style. Men can get their fix too with everything from the season’s must-have hikers to classic loafers and driving shoes.

So having visited the store myself, it truly was like heaven! Though it was disappointing photos were not allowed in the store, but fair to say for legal reasons. Overall, split across 2 floors, the place was to die for! with all types of stilettos/boots/flats it seemed never ending. However, the only down side was that that store seemed bigger than what it actually is, with installations of many mirrors on the walls, it is hard to say the place is small, creating that illuminous feel and working with your imagination.

A definate recommendation to all you shoe lovers!!
