There’s not much better than well-made shoes that you can customise yourself - and that’s exactly the service that French brand K. Jacques St. Tropez now offers on its website. The Create my K. Jacques browser-based tool lets you pick from a huge selection of materials and styles, and they have so many different types of leathers and finishes that honestly the hardest thing was deciding on just one. The photo-realistic preview is pretty fun to play with. I finally decided on some new sandals which I need for Summer (it’s only November but already 30+c!) but keeping away from the all-black design, I opted for some colour and texture just on the one strap but kept everything else pretty clean. Blue seems to be a recurring colour in my wardrobe so it was the obvious choice. I wasn’t sure what to expect as I’ve not tried customising stuff online before but the sandals are hand made and beautiful quality, and they look exactly as I thought they would. Happy customer! How would you customise yours? I’m already thinking of my second pair… it’s going to be Christmas after all :)
