Vera Zala Slingback Heels

"Three strangers stopped me about this in one week. I'm 58 and I'd forgotten that could happen with a coat I bought online."

"The weight was the first thing. Solid. Substantial. I stood there holding it for thirty seconds before I even tried it on."

"My husband walked into the kitchen and said 'that looks expensive.' I just smiled. He still doesn't know what I paid."

"I was burned twice this year by online fashion. This arrived looking exactly like the photos. My sister ordered the same day I showed her mine."

"I bought one for me and one for my daughter. She's already ordered a third. At this price, it felt silly not to get both colours."

"I emailed about sizing and got a personal reply from Sarah within two hours. I knew right then this was different."

"Bought it for my mum's 67th birthday. She's worn it every day since. She keeps texting me selfies — my mother who has never taken a selfie in her life."

"Three orders in. Every piece has been better than the last. When you find a small brand that gets it right, you don't let go."
