We have completed our 2nd major buying period and this years back to school was left a bit later by parents. It got really busy the last three weeks, I am pleased to say we did better than last year and have now started to switch the shop from summer to autumn.
No sooner is back to school over we are looking at buying for next spring and summer. It is always fun but seems like an age away.
We have some great stock now on display from Geox, Start-rite, Ricosta and cool macs from Hatley.

This is our blog, having established Eloquent to act as an umbrella for a number of ideas we are about to launch the first - a Children's shoe shop - Raspberry Laces. In setting up this business we have gone through a long journey to learn about retail.

June Sale - keeping up with the Jones'
After watching the high street turn to aggressive sales to catch what trade there is during June, we have now entered the fray, with many sandals and summer shoes heavily discounted. I am afraid if you can't beat them join them, as a small independent business, our sale period is solely dictated by when our competition launches with gusto. Sadly we have to cut what little margin there is simply to compete and be seen to having a sale.
As soon as August commences we will be back to competing on service and quality, an area we are confident we can not only match our competition but beat them.

Training leads to knowledge leads to awards
We are very belatedly pleased to announce we won not just one buy three awards at the Horsham unlimited best dressed window awards. We were voted best Independent for our Christmas window as well as most improvements in our visual window displays, following our excellent training from Metamorphisis. Since the awards ceremony we have undertaken some more training with Metamorphisis and continue to look to improve and vary our windows as well as our fitting service.
