DISCOVERING YOUR LUXURY PERSONA
Contributing article by Brigitte Kobi, founder of the luxury shoe brand Stilettissimo
THREE TYPES OF SHOPPERS
Everything we buy, we buy for a reason. Sometimes we are not even sure what triggered the purchase. When it comes to luxury, we can distinguish three different types of shoppers we happily serve.
LUXURY THAT TAKES ME PLACES
Do you prioritise luxury, exclusivity, and style? You are looking for high-end, iconic luxury that offers unique and extravagant designs. At the same time, you love unique shoes that underline your personality and your personal style, and you are willing to invest in high-quality shoes that are both fashionable and timeless.
LUXURY IS EVERYTHING I NEED
Are you the type who just loves to indulge in luxury no matter what? You love to invest in the most luxurious things that have a well-known name and the best quality. If you buy art, you go to Sotheby’s; jewellery should be from Tiffany’s or Cartier, and if you go for the Little Black Dress, you want it to be Chanel because it is the most famous one?
You might also prefer shiny things. Diamonds are especially appealing to you because you like the sparkling. You also like your electronic gadgets to be golden or bronze instead of black or white.
WHY YOU NEED LUXURY
There is absolutely nothing wrong with this. It simply means that you want to be sure of what you get, you value the emotional and symbolic meanings of luxury brands, and you are loyal to your favourite brands.
It also means that you value functionality, comfort, and quality materials, in which you are willing to invest. You appreciate the craftsmanship and attention to detail that goes into a luxury shoe, as these pieces stand the test of time.
Is sustainability one of your priorities? Do you want to know how your shoes are created and where the raw materials are coming from?
We totally understand you as we strive to find the most beautiful, yet sustainable material there is. We are mindful of sourcing materials and source locally to avoid long transports. Yes, we use real leather, but we make sure it is from farmed animals we consume; hence the hide would go to waste unless it is upcycled. Moreover, our packaging contains no plastic.
In addition, our shoes are handcrafted in Italy, and we know our shoemakers personally. Stilettissimo shoes are luxurious, fashion-forward, yet comfortable and of the highest quality.
