Walter Steiger's over-the-knee boots (from $2,995 to $4,995) and diva-esque pointed heel shoes (from $2,195 to $2,995) are selling fast at Swank as Hong Kong's funky footwear craze continues. Meanwhile, shoe designer Giuseppe Zanotti was delighted with the response when he showed his latest Cruise Collection at on pedder shops in Hong Kong and Singapore. Zanotti's creative and beautifully embellished shoes can cost thousands, so it's good to know he has such a dedicated following.
Toeing the Herline
It's one of the brand's more affordable items, so it comes as no surprise that Hermes' Herline Collection of bags is selling so well. Made from lightweight woven nylon, it comes in mini pouches, tote bags and wallets. Prices start from $600, which is what you might normally expect to pay for a button from this luxury brand.
Stepping back
Upmarket New York-based shoes and fashion brand Joan & David is soon to return to these shores. Formerly with the Dickson Group, the brand will set up freestanding boutiques in Hong Kong and other parts of Asia in conjunction with Global Retail, the company that owns EQ:IQ in Hong Kong.
