THE HISTORY OF SHOE CLIPS: a fashion comeback with GLORIELLAS
The story of shoe clips: a fashion comeback with GLORIELLAS
Shoe clips, an underrated accessory with a long history, are making a fashionable comeback. Originally popular in the 1920s, shoe clips allowed you to quickly and easily add a personal touch to your shoes. Back then, they were a symbol of elegance and individuality, and today they are making a comeback thanks to innovative brands like GLORIELLAS.
The origins of shoe clips
The first shoe clips appeared in the golden 20s, a time known for its luxurious fashion. These clips were made from high-quality materials such as crystals, pearls and metals and were often decorated with ornate designs. They were attached to the fronts of pumps, 'Mary Janes' (the so-called strappy shoes) and even sandals to add a touch of glamor. They experienced another wave of popularity in the 1950s before falling out of favor in the following decades.
The iconic Manolo Blahnik shoe from "Sex and the City"
A highlight in the history of shoe clips is undoubtedly the iconic Manolo Blahnik shoe with the sparkling crystal clip worn by Carrie Bradshaw in the legendary TV series "Sex and the City". These shoes are not only a symbol of luxury and style, but also a prime example of how a well-placed shoe clip can transform a shoe into a true work of art. GLORIELLAS offers you the opportunity to integrate this glamor into your everyday life and transform your shoes into real eye-catchers with breathtaking clips.
Change the clips depending on the occasion. More discreet models are suitable for everyday work, giving your business look that certain something. In the evening, you can set accents with more eye-catching designs.
