This is your peek into product development at Poppy Barley. Our co-founder, Justine, breaks down the new leathers, styles and products you can expect this October and November 2015.
The Gotham Grey Collection
This October we brought back a 2014 favourite: Gotham Grey leather. We sold out in record time on three occasions last year, and this year sold out in two styles - the Feminine Slipper and the Classic Ankle Bootie - in just 12 hours. (You can have first call on all our new collections by becoming a PB Insider.) As it stands, ordering La Hacienda Boot is the only way you can get Gotham Grey on your feet. Last time we checked, there were only 8 pairs left.




New: Mid-Heel Boots
This October we are finally launching a mid-height heel developed on a new shoe last which, internally, we call the "Seattle". I am excited about every aspect of this last - the 2.5 inch block heel, the pointed toe, and the natural sole with white, threaded edges (awesome to protect the leather with the added benefit of looking cool). When we develop a last it dictates the toe shape, heel height and shape for all the styles. After that we can easily change and add style details based on a last design.








The Poppy Barley Wristlet
This is big. Meet our first leather accessory - the Poppy Barley Wristlet! To get access, sign up to our mailing list - that's the first place we'll be releasing it! I resisted the wristlet concept for a long time, but after I borrowed one for a business trip to Mexico I was hooked. It is the perfect little bag to grab and go or easily transfer between purses so you never leave your essentials at home (ID, cash/cards, phone and lip gloss, of course.)
