When it comes to closet staples for Fall, a solid pair of comfy flats are key. I just picked up a pair of these navy and orange Hadleigh’s smoking slippers from Bergdorfs to give my favorite Revas a break for my recent trip to Destin. These shoes not only feel like I’m walking on clouds, but they are absolutely adorable as well! The smoking slipper is a classic, preppy shoe that has been around for ages, but Hadleigh’s has reinvented the slipper with their array of fun colors and textures to add a little pop to your shoe collection.
Though Hadleigh’s slippers are carried at retailers around the nation, such as Neimans and Bergdorfs, the company actually began in Dallas in 2009. Ed and Gable Shaikh took their knowledge of the fashion world they gained from working with Ralph Lauren, Stanley Korshak, as well as other large names in fashion, to start their own line four years ago. Named after their oldest daughter, Hadleigh’s has quickly gained fame for their quality products. What differentiates Hadleigh’s Bespoke from other luxury retailers is their focus on individually, customized tailored clothing. So whether you are looking for a classic pair of slippers or a full new wardrobe, Hadleigh’s has you covered. If you are ever in the Dallas area, be sure to stop by their flagship store in Highland Park Village – you will not be disappointed.
