Just when you thought the worst of times was over. Independent shoe label, Georgina Goodman, announced last week that it was going into administration.
Her designs might have lacked in re-imagination of late, but surely there was still a niche for stripes, diamonte and lots of Love. I even recall joking about their somewhat inauspicious unit number when they first heralded the opening of their Old Bond Street boutique - "die die" in Cantonese - but this is all still coming as quite a shock. Her label was the first that planted the seed of hope all those years ago that it was possible for Singapore to have a store filled with independent shoe designers; each pair handmade. With love.
The administrators have already started a massive sale of all remaining stock - 40% off the last selling price. Far be it for me to dance on a grave but if you've always fancied a pair of Goodman's signature handmade brush-stroked nude leather heels (and you're in London), this could well be your last chance.
