Pedder Red studded lace-up boots

I had never heard of Pedder Red before - and I’m still kind of struggling with what their story is all about. From what I gather (c/o my Google-fu) is that Pedder Red is a retail store in Hong Kong with an in-house brand of shoes (Pedder Red) - among other brands.

I found these at the newly renovated Queen Street Bay store, on the same floor as The Room (which is a story in itself - having Esprit and Balmain on the same floor is a trip).

The boots were pretty pricey, but for how unique they are, I figured it’d be a decent investment.

There was a pair of fierce Pedder Red suede wedge booties with buckles that I was prancing around in, also, but I couldn’t commit to taking care of the suede. I had a heart to heart with the sales associate (who was incredibly helpful - does an environment like that room change the way SA’s interact with customers?) about the struggle (wedges vs. boots) but in the end, the boots seemed like the practical choice.

Although, I did put the wedges on hold - and have the SA’s business card to arrange pick-up… Must.. resist…

This lovely girl has the pair of suede wedges that I tried on - they’re definitely not for the faint at heart! But they’re soooo gorgeous… and oh so comfortable! They’re like a cross of the Same Edelman booties (on Fashion Toast) and Chloe Sevigny meets Balmain.
