A Mother's Day We'll Never Forget

A Mother's Day We'll Never Forget

When we launched our Mother's Day competition, we hoped to hear some beautiful stories. What we received was a reminder of just how extraordinary the women in our community really are. Among the many heartfelt nominations was one that celebrated a lifelong friendship, quiet resilience and the power of making someone feel truly seen. This is the story of Kathryn and Louisa, and a Mother's Day we'll never forget.

More Than Just Buying Shoes - A Note From Katie

More Than Just Buying Shoes - A Note From Katie

When people ask me how I choose the collections for Sissa Sorella, they often imagine it's simply a matter of going around to trade shows and picking beautiful shoes. And while I'll happily admit that choosing beautiful shoes is part of the fun, it's actually one of the smallest parts of the process. By the time a new collection arrives in store, I've usually been working on it for close to a year!

Ankle Boots for Autumn: How to Wear Them Every Day

There is a particular joy that arrives with the first properly cool morning of Autumn. Not just because Canberra does autumn beautifully - all that golden light, all the leaves, the relief of cooler temperatures after the summer heat - but because it's ankle boot season again!
