CHRISTMAS DELIVERY: 

If you would like any RoSa product delivered to you before Christmas, the following dates apply:

UK Customers - all orders are sent by Royal Mail Special Delivery, so orders received for in-stock items before 22nd December are guaranteed pre-Christmas Delivery.

Customers in Western Europe, need to order items which we have in stock, ready to despatch, before 12th December, and in Eastern Europe, USA and Canada before 9th December (the rest of the world before 5th December.) These are the last posting dates recommended by Royal Mail for the standard priority registered airmail service.

For customers in Europe, USA and Canada, we also offer the option of paying an Express Delivery Surcharge if you would like your items delivered by our DHL Express Courier service. This service has its own page on the website and may be added as a separate item when you order. For the month of December only (orders received after November 30th) our surcharge for Express Courier delivery is half price, and covers up to two pairs of shoes or one pair of boots.

 

"The Little Black Hobble Skirt" - We will do our very best to make sure that any new orders for these fabulous Made-to-Measure Hobble Skirts are received before Christmas, but please place your order before 1st December if you live in the UK, Europe, USA or Canada.   For customers elsewhere in the World, we cannot now guarantee pre-Christmas delivery for any new Hobble Skirt orders.

BOOTS: 

Our new Boots page will be appearing on the website in early December. The new Knee Boots include a choice of toe shape on the Ultra-High Stiletto Heel (either our standard Pointed Toe, or our new spectacular Long Pointed Toe) and a Stiletto Platform Knee Boot with round toe. All boots feature full gold leather lining, full-length zip and elastic gusset at the topline for added comfort.  Subscribe to our Newsletter to receive notification as soon as the Boots arrive on the website.

 

October 2011

As you may have noticed, we have introduced our own range of tight Hobble Skirts to accompany our shoes. "The Little Black Hobble Skirt" is available exclusively from RoSa Shoes, made to measure for each individual customer in a choice of essential black fabrics.

Style variations include 1960s tight skirts, cut just below the knee, with no relief at the hem (movie reference: Debbie Reynolds in "The Rat Race",1960), vintage-style 1950s calf-length skirts equally tight to below the knee, with a Dior-style kick-pleat to mid-calf (Hitchcock would have loved them!), and ankle length Ultra-Hobble skirts, designed to restrict the stride for the classic 1910 Hobble Skirt Walk (as perfectly demonstrated by that tall brunette Ziegfeld showgirl, played by Bettina Brenna, in the film version of "Funny Girl").

Shoe (and boot) lovers need have no fear - new styles and variations are in preparation and will be arriving throughout November. Please check the Special Offers sections regularly for new reductions.

August 2011

Ultra-High Faux Snake Open-Sided Pointed Court

A new addition to our Ultra-High Pointed-Toe Stiletto range is our popular Open-Sided Court Shoe.  This version has a less extended pointed toe than its High Heel or Classic Heel counterparts and a slightly higher heel (from 13 cm - approximately 5 inches).  The upper is a snake-pattern leather in a rich colour scheme in shades from black to gold. The shoe has black leather trim and a small gold buckle to adjust the side strap. Full gold leather lining and leather sole.

 

Also -  be sure to explore the website as we have made one or two small changes and additions, especially to the Information and Frequent Questions pages!

June 2011

If you like our High Stiletto Platform styles, you'll love these!

  

In a choice of  beautiful Black Leather and Black Patent Leather, fabulous Faux Leopard and gorgeous Gold Leather, these Platform Stiletto variations will be  a stunning addition to your collection of RoSa Shoes!  All fully lined in gold leather, and featuring our trademark thin steel stiletto heels.  A special feature is the deluxe gold metallic stiletto heel on the Gold and Leopard options. 

May 2011

New in for the Spring - White Leather in both the Pointed Toe and Round Toe Ultra-High Court Shoes.

March 2011

In what some may regard as a surprising new development for RoSa Shoes, we recently commissioned from our shoemaker in Italy the first of our Round-Toe designs - variations on the 1950's "burlesque" styles with ballerina (or "baby-doll")  toes, but perched on the new RoSa Ultra-High Stiletto Heels.  The Court Shoes and Slingbacks are available right now in both Black Leather and Black Patent Leather. The Pointed Toe  will of course also continue to be available - we regard toe-shape as a matter of personal preference.

If you would like to read more about how this new look for RoSa Shoes came about, read the story behind it on our FAQ page "Why Round-Toe Stilettos?"

Of course, we know that for many of you, nothing but Pointed Toes will do. So please do not worry - there are of course more Pointed and Ultra-Pointed Styles in the pipeline, some of which will be received very soon.  

February 2011

• All remaining stock of our discontinued Classic (medium) Stiletto Heel shoes is now reduced - please visit  the Special Offers Shoes page. Several styles have now almost sold out, but we hope you will still be able to find something to your taste.

• We are now able to offer Express Courier Delivery  to our overseas customers in Europe, USA or Canada.  Our standard overseas shipping method (Royal Mail priority registered airmail) is, under normal circumstances, extremely reliable and (judging from favourable comments we have received) prompt enough to suit most customers. However, customers who require their orders especially urgently can now add the Express Delivery option as a separate item in the shopping basket. This £25 surcharge is a fixed fee, additional to the standard shipping charge. The surcharge covers up to 2 pairs of shoes or 1 pair of boots.
