Lollipop unwraps its own shoe collection ...
LONDON boutique Lollipop has announced the launch of its own shoe collection.
The new range has been developed by store director Laura Allnatt and Cordwainers trained designer Rachele Davies and will be sold wholesale as well as being stocked in the boutique.
Laura said: 'The idea to create my own range has been evolving in my head since opening the shop three years ago.
'I felt that my experience at shop floor level helped me understand what women were looking for and what they felt was missing from the market.
'When I was buying for Lollipop I was getting frustrated with what was available and felt that there was a need for a medium price point collection combining desirable colours and textures with wearable designs.'

Philippa takes top spot in Italy awards
FOOTWEAR design graduate Philippa Stanton has been awarded first prize at Italy's Lineapelle Awards with a creation inspired by Darwin's theory of evolution.
The De Montfort University student entered her 'Shoevolution' design, a shoe that can be turned into a boot.
She said: 'I wanted to create a shoe that evolves with the trends instead of just being replaced for the latest fashion every season.
'Rather than buying a whole new boot, you can just buy the updates.
'The design is eco friendly because it avoids the 'throw away' culture that has developed and I think it also taps into a return to a desire for long lasting quality rather than cheaper but shortlived items.'
