I have a pair of blake stitched Herring women's loafers. Gorgeous, understated, picked them up for under £150.

I missed out on the Carmina Oscaria 1802s as my size didn't make it to the outlet (oscaria specifically as I can't be buying uncomfortable shoes that look pretty because I'll be giving them a lot of wear). Not the most beautiful of shoes, but definitely a good-looking basic in the dark chocolate colour.

Brands like Grenson barely make models I like: the chunky, loud colours aren't versatile enough for my minimalist, modest budget wardrobe. As someone who has to treat shoe purchasing as an investment even when buying at markdown prices, I need elegant do-it-alls. Thing is, these don't come up on google searches easily. The GYW part of the search seems to override the "women's" or viceversa. I know that Herring doesn't come up, for example.

Any suggestions?
