D’vine Little People Launch

Posted on November 5, 2012

The day has arrived.  One that I have been waiting for, for a very long time. I have been dreaming of starting my own baby shoe range for a couple of years now.

I got the idea one day as I was walking the isles of a chain store, looking to buy newborn shoes for a special friend’s baby. The spread available were boring and limited. Barbie and Winnie The Pooh was not what I was looking for. I was looking for something special, something different, something unique. Then I realized it would be amazing to have a range of baby shoes available that were just small replica’s of woman shoes. Baby shoes that were desirable even by grown up woman.

There, in the baby isle of a chain store, the idea was born. I decided to start my own handmade, unique, comfortable, one-of-a-kind collection of baby shoes.  The idea was perfect and Viv supported the idea, but then I realized, who am I going to get to help me make all of these handmade baby shoes?

The next weekend my parents came to visit us and as we were sitting at the dinner table I realized, what better person to team up with, to make this dream come true, than my mom, my best friend and the most creative person I know. She has been sewing for more than 32 years and is a perfectionist.  She would be perfect.

She loved the idea! We decided to use the D’vine Little People brand and so, we started on our new venture.

All pairs are:

• handmade
• one of a kind (There are no 2 pairs that are the same)
• the liner of all the shoes are made of organic cotton
• soft felt/ leather soles
• 0 – 6 months or,
• 6 – 12 months
• each pair comes with a certificate
• each pair comes in a shiny white box
• R 175 (including postage in South Africa)
• made with loads of love

As soon as one of the pairs below gets sold, it will be replaced with a new pair. Thus, if you see a pair that you like and it gets sold, we will not be making a duplicate pair ever again.  We can also make a custom made pair for you according to your specifications. We recently made custom made pairs for friends and family for special occasions.  Like 1st birthdays, baby showers, baptisms, weddings and now for Christmas.

I am so excited to present to you the first ever pairs of D’vine Little People available:
