It all started in late 2009 when Maria Oliveira waved goodbye to rainy UK, her suitcase packed with loose, comfy clothes and flat, ‘sensible’ summer sandals.
The long flight gave her a chance to reflect on her busy UK lifestyle – raising four children independently and with a full-time job – and what might await her in Sri Lanka.
During a trip on the island she came across the most beautiful pair of heeled toe post shoes.
These unusual shoes were so stunning and different, but also comfortable – her ‘sensible’ shoes with heels.
And so the journey began. Maria's dream to design her own collection of toe posts and manufacture them in the country that gave her the inspiration.
Party wear:
And the Olivellies, ready for a rainy fall and snowy winter!
