Shoe Love and Small Biz in 2025

As we step into 2025, it's so important that we make small businesses the heart of our communities. They’re the cornerstones of local economies, foster and share creativity, and the places where genuine connections are made. In an era of fast fashion and faceless transactions, choosing to shop small is a way of saying, “I value quality, care and individuality.”

When you choose to shop small, you’re not just buying a product; you’re investing in someone’s ideas, in their expertise and in their passion. It helps keep traditions alive, fosters innovation, and supports the people and families behind the counter or website.

At Sissa Sorella, we’ve felt the highs and lows that come with being a small, women-led business. 2024 brought its share of challenges, but it also gave us clarity. Closing our apparel store last year allowed us to refocus on what we love most: shoes. Curating beautiful, versatile collections that bring joy to your wardrobe. It’s not just about the shoes themselves—it’s about creating a shopping experience that feels special, whether you visit us in Deakin or browse online from the comfort of your home.

There’s something magical about small businesses. At Sissa Sorella, we see it in every kind review, every friendly chat with customers, and every time someone shares their excitement about finding the perfect pair of shoes. It reminds us why we do what we do - and why your support means so much. Shopping small isn’t just a transaction; it’s a connection. And it’s a privilege to connect with you.

As we dive into 2025, we’re looking forward to another year of doing what we love. More beautiful collections, more shoes to fall in love with, and more opportunities to share our passion with you. Thank you for being part of this journey with us, for supporting local, and for showing that small businesses have a big place in our lives.
Here’s to a stylish, community-driven 2025 with lots of shoe love!
