Ask the Shoeblogger: Who made Kate Middleton’s Black Patent Espadrille?

posted by: Shomore in Ask the Shoebloggers, Celebrity Shoe Style on May 1st, 2011

We’ve been getting a few inquiries wondering who the designer of Kate Middleton’s (or should I say the Duchess of Cambridge’s) wedding rehearsal (left) and post wedding (right) shoes is.

Answer:  The shoes are by London apparel company L.K. Bennett and are named the “Greta” wedges.  While we couldn’t find the exact pair available on sale yet,you can purchase the L.K. Bennett all patent wedge on JohnLewis.com for £150.  Lanvin also makes a beautiful pair of patent black espadrilles with a dark brown wedge for $550 at Nordies.

On a side note, can I say how refreshing it is that Kate has such sensible but stylish tastes?  Kate could go all out designer and here she is wearing the same pair of sub $350 shoes during the same week – and during her wedding week no less!   Also, I love her blue Zara dress and wish we had a Zara store here so I could run out and purchase one for myself.
