Top Irish fashion designer teams up with heritage footwear brand for shoe collection.
Expanding on the 6 pair capsule collection shown for SS14 at the end of last year, Orla Kiely and Clarks' footwear range is available now.
Orla Kiely footwear was a long time coming for the fans of her clothes, bags and even homeware. The Dubliner's first foray into footwear is everything we could have hoped for. Typical of Orla Kiely, the shoes are of a whimsical retro style, complete with vibrant colours and florals.
The go-to store for quality shoes with the perfect fit (remember Mammy taking you in to get measured for your school shoes?), Clarks has a reputation that is the perfect fit for Orla Kiely. The craftsmanship and comfort of these shoes is sure to be top notch, which should do more than dignify the 130-180 euro price tag.

The collection of 14 pairs includes high platform mary-janes, low sling backs and chunky wedges, all with a cool '60s or '70s vibe. Never ones to do things by halves, the Kiely/Clarks range of shoes are complete with Orla's signature pattern - on the soles. Louboutin for the '70s revivalist.
The Kiely/Clarks collaboration is available now from Clarks and Orla Kiely's official website.
