RonC Posted June 19, 2003 Posted June 19, 2003 Has anyone purchased a pair of their shoes? If so, how is the fit and quality?
Heelfan Posted June 20, 2003 Posted June 20, 2003 Hi! I haven't ordered anything from either firm yet, so I can't comment on quailty/service, but I admire your taste which co-incides with mine! Classic Pumps have those superb low-cut pumps showing toe-cleavage (I HATE pumps with high, ugly uppers), and Brazilian orchid excell with their lovely low-cut mules (again the toe-straps of most other mules seem unnecessarily high-cut a stodgy). I really just posted to say why not include Lovely Pumps as well as Classic Pumps? To me, their range looks even more exciting, although it's more expensive that Classic Pumps. Hope you manage to get something and that it satisfies you! Cheers, Heelsfan. Onwards and upwards!
RonC Posted June 20, 2003 Author Posted June 20, 2003 I agree, Lovely Pumps makes some very interesting looking shoes as well (though some are a bit extreme!). So yes, let's add them to this thread!
jo Posted June 20, 2003 Posted June 20, 2003 I think that Brazilian Orchid got a mention a year or two back in the Patent Newsletter (not too difficult to find archived copies via Google), but I can't remember if the write-up was good or bad. I know that PL did print a number of warnings about some bad manufacturers and retailers, but cannot remember who they are now.
RonC Posted June 23, 2003 Author Posted June 23, 2003 Just as an addition to this topic, I would like to note that both Brazilian Orchid, Lovely Pumps, and Classic Pumps carry sizes up to 12 US (I think Brazilian Orchid even goes larger than that). So if anyone is seeking heels in large sizes, with some very excellent styles at both sites, they would be a good choice.
AZShoeNut Posted July 7, 2003 Posted July 7, 2003 Hello, I purchased a pair of size 12, black suede, Lolas from Classic Pumps a couple years ago. I have to say that they are one awesome pair of shoes. My size 12 runs from medium to large and the shoes are a little small on me. One thing that I do really dig about them is that their size to height ratio is retained on the larger sized shoe. If you like their appearance on the modeled foot then they look the same across the board. The quality is great and the customer service is top notch. AZShoe Nut Life is short... Â Wear the bleeping shoes!
landwhale Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 Hi, I'm going to bump this up because I've been looking at getting a pair of pumps from Brazilian Orchid or Classic Pumps. Thanks!
pussyinboots Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 Hi, I'm going to bump this up because I've been looking at getting a pair of pumps from Brazilian Orchid or Classic Pumps. Thanks! Erika Hosoiri's shoes from 'Brazilian Orchid' are simply beautiful! They are superbly made - gorgeous to look at and divine to wear - they are really comfortable. If you have any query - she will answer you personally - and will make shoes to fit if necessary. The ONLY drawback - is that she doesn't make her fabulous shoes any higher than 4"!!! Classic Pumps are beautiful shoes too - so you can't go wrong with either of them to be honest! "Good Girls keep diaries....Bad Girls just don't have the time...!:icon_twisted:"
RonC Posted February 22, 2010 Author Posted February 22, 2010 Some time back, I did purchase a pair of Rossi black patent pumps from Classic Pumps. Same as those in my avatar. As noted by AZShoenut, the size 12's actually run a bit on the snug side, especially if one has a wider foot. Walt at Classic Pumps is great to work with, by the way. Shoes aren't inexpensive though, as most are now over $100.
landwhale Posted March 6, 2010 Posted March 6, 2010 Thanks for the replies. I jsut ordered a pair from Brazilian Orchid. I like the shape of their shoes better. I'll let everyone know how they are when I receive them! Excited. Oh i got http://www.brazilianorchid.com.br/body.mv?1 in faux black croc. 10cm heel. I'm Considering a pair from Italian Heels as well but I'm not sure how well I can handle a 5 inch heel. I can walk fine in 4 inch heels but my 4.5 inch Nina Ricci shoes make me totter around like a newbie.

I would love to see them though - I have a number of pairs of her sandals and mules and they are simply divine. "Good Girls keep diaries....Bad Girls just don't have the time...!:icon_twisted:"
landwhale Posted March 6, 2010 Posted March 6, 2010 Hi, The model number is SC057 under the Pumps category. It does not appear that i can link directly. I will try to post pictures when i have them. I also seem to be having problems with creating picture albums but that may be because I am not a paying member?
borg Posted March 7, 2010 Posted March 7, 2010 Do tell us about them when you get them! Lots of lovely shoes there.
barbara Posted March 7, 2010 Posted March 7, 2010 Ive ordered from both and the service was good. I would highly recommend either one.

pr8215 Posted March 7, 2010 Posted March 7, 2010 Hi landwhale I've gotten a couple pair of boots from Italian Heels. They are high. That said they are also beautiful and well made. I had acouple of pictures in my gallery but they got deleted recently. My avatar photo is a pair of Italian Heels. I definately recomend them.
barney15c Posted March 9, 2010 Posted March 9, 2010 Classic pumps sell their Lola model in a size 13,14, and 15 C width in Black Patent and Black Kid for $115. In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king!!!
