Kerry woman sells designer shoes for petite ladies
A Kerry business can satisfy the needs of petite ladies who love their shoes. Amy Hanley of Castleisland, County Kerry, launched Shoetastic (www.shoetastic.ie) after many months of research and planning. This online shopping service will be a delight for ladies who find the search for sizes 32 to 37 so difficult.
Amy knows only too well how difficult it is to find tiny shoes:
“I have always had problems in finding fashionable shoes in my tiny size, so I decided to solve the problem for myself and others by setting up my own business. By selling online, I can reach out to petite women all around the world who want to buy designer shoes.”
The range includes ankle, knee-high and calf boots, casual shoes, high heels, peep toes and a special bridal collection. There are even matching handbags to complete an outfit. Current prices start at just over €30.
Amy is delighted with the help she received from Kerry County Enterprise Board. With the help of a mentor and a grant, she has been able to explore how best to set up, manage and market her business. The “Start your own business” course run by the Enterprise Board was just what Amy needed to enhance her skills and she now regularly attends networking events in the County.
