If you’re going to bother wrapping your feet up in shoes, you may as well dress them in something interesting – something that will keep you amused during those long hours with your head hunched over your phone, or staring at your feet on your daily public transport commute. Bold animal prints, bright colour palettes and metallic splashes combine in Ilaria, the new joint project from one of the state’s most esteemed accessories boutiques and talented European shoemakers.

Maryon’s buyer and director Claire Campbell has teamed up with Spanish and Italian shoemakers, resulting in an eye-catching family of footwear. The new collection features both sandals and slippers, which are perfect for prancing from the depths of Sweatsville to our mild Queensland winter. Grab a pair from Maryon’s Philosophy boutique in Fortitude Valley’s Emporium and keep up to date on new arrivals via Facebook.
