One visit to Escala in Manuka certainly proves that the divine is in the detail.
Established in 1999, Escala is Canberra’s foremost destination for divine European footwear, covetable handbags and alluring accessories.
Owner Gail Lubbock and the Escala staff are friendly and personable, putting time and effort into every customer and fitting.
The shoes speak for themselves with craftsmanship and quality combined with fashion and style in every piece.
Gail selects all the pieces for Escala herself on trips to Europe twice a year to see the best in show. Gail enjoys spectacular exhibitions in Milan and Madrid, and visiting show rooms in Florence and Barcelona. These trips allow her to “pick up on the atmosphere of a particular season’s style” and ensures that we here in Canberra are not far behind the trends and developments in high fashion from the Northern Hemisphere.
Gail says a key element in the ongoing quest for exceptional design is “the desire to invoke interest in something new and distinctive”.
Escala explores bold new synergies between shapes, materials and all manner of embellishment, and houses shoes from renown German designer Peter Kaiser, Italian line Emma Viani, and French brands Arche and Pataugas, to name a few. Beautiful handcrafted handbags and accessories from Toscani, Petusco, and Lupo are also exclusively available at Escala.
Escala is embracing the end of winter and the beginning of a fresh and colourful new season by tempting Canberra’s most fashionable with exclusive and luxurious brands at exceptional discounted prices.
With the sale set to last until the second week of September, shoe-aficionados can enjoy huge reductions off shoes and accessories (most pieces attracting a 50% discount)!
As for Escala’s spring and summer collections which are just around the corner, we can expect peep toed and platform shoes in bright colours including citrus, cherry and violet. Metallics will also make a subtle reappearance this season with traditional lines and classic designs.
Gail is excited to be introducing a new designer brand to her collection this season. Based in the UK, with factories in Italy, Rupert Sanderson concentrates on perfecting the line, volume and material of each shoe. His design philosophy is simple: less is more. Rupert Sanderson spends four months of the year in Italy refining each shoe with the artisans in and around Bologna, where he designed for Sergio Rossi and Bruno Magli. His shoes are available in over 120 department and specialist stores worldwide.
So with an array of exquisite footwear, handbags and accessories on sale, and an assortment of new exciting pieces to come this spring, you are invited to step into Escala today to experience divine detail and exceptional high fashion.
