OUR FIRST EUROPEAN SALES AGENT

House of Elliot are in deep discussion woth a Dutch Wedding Vendor who is keen to become the 'sole' agent for House of Elliot in the Netherlands. This is new territory for us so we would love to hear from other folk who are firmly established in that field. September is proving to be nearly as good as August and most of our delivery that is due the 25th September has been sold in sizes 4 & 5.

We are very pleased the way the business model is going in its diversity with Stockists, drop shippers and direct sales.

We would really like to attend the Harrogate Bridal Fair Next year and introduce our gorgeous lace footwear to the Wedding Shops.

Sales this month have gone to Sweden, Liverpool, Holland, Australia and the USA - Thankyou!

We are also negotiating another photo shoot with a lovely photographer from Vancouver - Canada. We are just focussing on our black lace boots.

August proved to be the best month so far this year. Our figures show that we are 18% up in the first five months of the Tax year than we are on the WHOLE of last year, so we are very encouraged by this news and were in a position to give hundreds of pounds away to our minsitires and organsiations; XP Media (abolition of the sex trade in Children and Women) Feed the Hungry, Mercy Ministries (dedicated to providing a six-month, free-of-charge residential programme for young women, ages 18-28, suffering from life-controlling issues such as eating disorders, self harm, depression, and the effects of abuse in all its forms, Reformed (ending violence in women) Bible Society (providing Bibles in China) and the list goes on....

So thankyou!!  your pound, Dollar, Kroner, Australian Dollar has gone a looong way towards a pair of boots!

We are often complimented on our beautiful hand made Keepsake box which comes with every pair of boots and shoes, so we thought we would shout about it as we feel they can be slightly overlooked,  Here is a recent testimony from a UK Bride;

"
Dear Kim,
They have arrived safely. The box was so beautiful I was reluctant to open it and spoil the bow! The shoes are gorgeous and I have tried them on and they fit perfectly. I am really delighted with them and I think they will look fabulous with my wedding dress. I really want to "like" your facebook group, but I am determined to keep the boots an absolute secret until after the wedding. After which I will tell everyone!!"
 
You see! We at House of Elliot have thought about everything, even after your wedding when your gorgeous boots are packed away!

Each pair of wedding boots is meticulously wrapped in acid free tissue paper and then placed in its box, so when you open the box, the first thing you see is the colour and detail of your beautiful wedding footwear.
The beautifully romantic handmade box is tied together with a double sided satin ribbon in ivory to match your footwear. Handmade in Great Britain, the boxes are made from a breathable material with a fitted lid, sturdy enough to eliminate light and protection from dust and accidents, making it the perfect keepsake box.

Have a Great September!

Kim x
