When the Filipino dictator Ferdinand Marcos and his wife Imelda were exiled from the Philippines in 1983, the incoming people’s power revolutionary regime were astounded to discover that the former first lady had over a thousand pairs of shoes. A thousand pairs is pretty extreme, but we all know someone who loves shoes and the gender divide isn’t as sharp as one might expect - for every woman lusting after a pair of kitten heels, there is a man who keeps his Reeboks “box-fresh”. If you order a bespoke wardrobe from Mirror Image Ltd, we can incorporate pull out shoe racks that should appeal to the shoe lover in your life.
What to Do with all those Shoes
When she was eventually allowed to return to her homeland, in an act of seeming contrition, Imelda Marcos donated all those shoes to a shoe museum. If you or a family member are a shoe lover, you will be familiar with the problem: what to do when you have too many shoes. They start to clutter up the base of wardrobes and spill out when you open the door. Shoes can start off lined up neatly by the front door, but it’s not long before shoes are stacked on top of shoes and they are getting accidentally kicked when people are coming in and out. Sound familiar? You need proper shoe storage.
Bespoke Features
We all have different tastes and different sartorial requirements. When you design your own furniture, your tastes can be accounted for. Pull out shoe racks are a great example of how we can tailor the furniture you are having built to your needs. Pull out shoe racks mean that your shoes are tucked away neatly in part of your wardrobe. When you want to choose a pair to wear, the full range can be accessed easily and you can admire your crepe-soled loafers even as you reach for your everyday work shoes.
Come in and talk to Mirror Image about creating bespoke furniture tailored to your needs. You might be surprised how much space you will free up by storing your shoes properly. Visit our showrooms in Norwich and Cambridge or call us on 01603 417577 to find out more.
