Fashion High Five – Perfect Summer Shoes from PurpleTag.ie

Five of our favourites from the new Irish online store.

Rebecca McKnight

Shoe shopping just got easier. You’re welcome.

PurpleTag.ie is a new Irish owned and operated online shoe store, set to make us even more likely to avoid the hustle and bustle of the high street and treat ourselves from the comfort of the couch.

The site is the brainchild of Fred Karlsson, the Swedish born and Wexford based founder of the Irish Classifieds DoneDeal.ie and Stephen Graham, a businessman and owner of Graham’s Shoes, with almost 20 years’ experience in the shoe retail and wholesale industry. So far, so good.

The site offers a wide selection of footwear brands, including Clarks, Converse, Rieker, Dubarry, Geox, Vans, Skechers, Crocs, FitFlop, Lelli Kelly, Ruby Shoo and Bourbon by Amy Huberman. The big plus for customers is free 1-2 day free and an unlimited returns policy, meaning that if the shoe doesn’t fit, it is picked up from the customer’s address completely free of charge.

Check out five of our favourites in varying nudes, creams and gold for summer below. And if you fancy treating yourself, Purpletag.ie are offering Her.ie readers 10% off when shopping. Just enter the ‘her.ie’ as the discount code when you’re checking out!

Remonte – Brogue Shoes Muscat/Multi, €85.00

Brogues are officially the shoes of the year, so if you’re going to invest in one pair we suggest these ones. A good pair of brogues will compliment any outfit, and we’re mad about the mix of tones in this style.

SPM – Golden buckles ankle boots, €110.00

Just because summer has rolled around, don’t ditch the boots entirely. Ankle boots can be the perfect shoe to give a floral dress some edge. These Cuban-heeled western-style boots come in a gorgeous taupe suede with gold tone hardware. Fab.

Evolve – Peep Toe Bow Beige Shoes, €65.00

Nude heels are a wardrobe must have, but these beauties are a break away from the ubiquitous pumps. The cut-out detailing and contrast heel serve to make your nude shoes a talking point, while the concealed platform adds a little oomph to your look.

Bourbon Amy Huberman – Splash Sandals Cream, €89.99

National sweetheart Huberman has added her name to a second collection from Burbon, and we’re loving these vaguely 70’s style wedges. They’ll give you lots of height without any of the pain that comes with stilettos, and the mix of nude, cream and tan shades will go with pretty much everything.

Clarks – Arizona Heat Gold Leather, €49.99

A good pair of flats are essential summer wear, with the emphasis on quality. These leather slip-ons from Clarks offer a supportive flexible rubber sole, encased in stylish metallic gold leather and a boasting a classic ballerina-style bow detailing.
