Leaders in Fashionable Footwear

In the late 90`s two brothers, Charles and Keith Wong opened a shoe store in Singapore, and because they were selling super-trendy shoes and accessories to style-setters, they quickly become a true institution here; you see their label being featured prominently on many pages of fashion magazines. And you are most likely to spot their handbags carried by many commuters on MRT trains. Charles & Keith brand is synonymous with cutting edge footwear, as far as fashion-savvy Singaporeans are concerned.

The prices are reasonable, maybe because everything is made from man-made materials, rather than leather and – I guess – this focus on non-leather items must be driving prices down.

 

For even more purse-friendly options, one needs to head to Queenstown area, to a small Anchorpoint shopping mall, situated opposite Ikea, where Charles and Keith`s outlet is located. It offers up to 70% discounts on the original price.

Unfortunately, because they use man-made materials, I am not sure I can wear their footwear, especially in a humid climate of Singapore, as I am worried my feet would blister from not wearing `breathable` shoes. Having said that, I appreciate their elegant and feminine designs and find them very appealing.
