Sendra really boots it out of the park for this pre-Fall season...with flawless workmanship of kickers...that are international in flavor.
We had a great chat at the recent FFANY trade show with members of the sales team...who concurred:
"We took a different turn..," but still with that special style of this label...
With edgy--- handsome formulations of the Engineer, Modern Biker/Motorcycle Boot.
Urban Cowboy---with a round toe that looks cool.
What jumped out first---the inventive use of textiles mix with leather---in short boots. Canvas and tweed...in particular. We even thought the patchwork style easy to wear,
 |
| wear up or down |
This three leather spectator shoe is so special...with fab python trim...
 |
| Removeable Harness |
Lace-up, lug boots qith proprietary outsoles a great foundation for this equestrian harness with chain---
 |
| Woven in Europe... |
This mule was one of our top picks---a basket woven leather.
Hand finished finishes---vintage and buffed.

 |
| These shoes outoles are something to look at...handsome---customers should pay more attention |

We thought ---Sendra---all ready popular in some footwear fanatic circles ---will start showing up in print reads...if they wise up to what stores like smart retailers Nordstom already know. IMHO.
Around $300-$599
PURA LOPEZ
High end, sensuous shoes and pushy stachels from Spain...in a pre-Fall collection.

| The color of the season---this beautiful, rich gray. |
 |
| Tiered, gray suede...this is our new everyday bag WANT |
 |
| Stacked platform, texture...perforated holes. |
 |
| Folded leather round toe---perforated leather in a sling back. Elegant and sassy. |
 |
| Mulit-strap, stacked platform, metallic sheen, leather in a gun metal gray |
 |
| Kitten heels with attitude---we liked the S shapes of how the heel curves. |
 |
| Our fav heels----spiked heels... |
 |
| Roll up or down. |
 |
| Buttery soft leather tie envelope |
Terrific shoulder bags for all seasons---plush leather---and all the interior pockets we expect. These bags work as casual weekend haulers...and are sophisticated enough urban office types---
 |
| Spectators---a nod to mens shoes that seem to never go out of style. Pointy toes make this one for the girls. |
 |
| Wedge boots are not our fav profile but these are something else....a booty that manages to entice without being clunky |
