Pippa Middelton's Flats {Russell & Bromley}





**update 5/20/11**
Thank you so much to Patricia for letting me know Pippa's shoes are the Baby-Lock style. See her comment below for price/order info.

**update 5/3/11**
see comments below - these do appear to be shoes from Russell & Bromley, and not Tory Burch as they have been identified other places on the web.



I finally found a good close-up of the flats I mentioned in the previous post on stylebistro.com.

I think the hardware is an exact match to the "Turnlock Trim Flats" in these Russell & Bromley ads (below) but I can't get anymore details. The ads are archived on visit4info.com and not current -- I think I saw 2009? Anyway, I can't read the teeny tiny print to see what it says but they certainly do look like something Tory Burch would make (thank you Marigold104 and Mona P for sharing info!).

Does anyone have a name for these? I can't find anything similar googling Tory Burch flats...

I am guessing Russell & Bromley is a store that carries many brands but it is in the UK with not much info online.

  1. Russell and Bromley is a shoe store here in the UK. They mostly sell their own brand, although I've seen Stuart Weitzman shoes in there too. I don't think they sell Tory Burch as the only places I've seen TB so far have been Selfridges and TB stores, though I'm sure they're sold elsewhere. Even their own R&B brand though is really nice and very reputable here in the UK. Expensive too. Goodluck finding them!

  2. Yes, they look like the Russell & Bromley shoes! I'm so glad you've been doing all this research! After the photos first came out I posted a question on the Daily Mail (!) to see if anyone knew the maker of the handbag & shoes & no one, as far as I can find, has replied. I see Russell & Bromley adverts fairly often in English magazines...they tend to run 300 pounds-ish??

    Cheers!

  3. My best guess would be Ferragamo, Burberry or Jimmy Choo (definitively not Tory). HTH!

    Jillle - wow... thank you so much. 39 - I believe they are! I checked and the seller doesn't ship internationally but you reminded me to keep an eye on ebay for R&B.

  14. love em! absolutely chic, clean, classy and very channel looking too.
    I would love to see some similar more affordable version

    Pippa looks great always and if she were a model, for say, JCCrew, etc, clothes would “fly off the shelf”.
    She’s so smart looking too, a litte more edgey than Kate, Kate looks nice but too middle age for my taste(I am middle age, LOL)
