Thanks to (clockwise from left) Cashmere and Camo, Miss Sarah Chan, Granny Dill and J'Lyn Nye for your #ShoeCam pics! You sure make your Poppy Barleys look pretty. Here's what happened this week: BIG NEWS: We just launched TWO new boot styles (The Foxhunt and The Highline), THREE new leather colours (Camel, Brown and Cognac), and brought back Metallic Gold leather for our ballet flats in time for Fall! And ICYMI: we all participated in a big, virtual hug with some very excited customers on Twitter over it, because, really, there was nothing left to do (except start measuring!) More BIG NEWS: We've just opened up a SALE ROOM! You can save up to $175 on our Limited Edition Collections (that includes the Rodeo Darling Promenade Boot, the Blue Jean Baby Classic Ankle Bootie, the Blue Jean Baby Feminine Slipper, and the Green With Envy Classic Point). We spotted the Oakland Raiderettes cheerleading team in Runners World magazine wearing their white, custom Poppy Barley boots. Here's how we started making boots for NFL cheerleaders.
