I'm partial to a little online shopping and was very excited to come across Franchetti Bond, unable to go to their retail shop in Chelsea I bought a gorgeous pair of Tan Leather Loafers online. The quality is fantastic and delivery was speedy!. Whilst not the cheapest shoes online they are extremely well made and I can see that they are going to last!.

On my annual shopping visit to London from America, I stumbled across Franchetti Bond, who are based in the heart of Chelsea in Duke of York Square. Having been coming to London on numerous occasions for the last 30 years I am surprised that I have never noticed them before - but luckily I know have them in my life!

What I really liked about the shop was the staff, ever so kind and friendly and they went out of their way to help me. I fell in love with a pair of pewter colored loafers, a color that I had never seen before in America. The shoes were elegant yet sophisticated and the brightness will definitely cheer me up in the rainy and cold winter months.

Me being me I had to have the matching pewter handbag, but unfortunately they had none in stock. However the staff were brilliant they helped me order the bag online from their website and shipped it to America for me, which was the perfect present to receive when I got home from my vacation.

All in all, Franchetti Bond were superb, highly recommended.
