Manolo Blahnik Partners With Tous For Jewelry and Shoe Collections
Posted on January 24, 2011
Tous and Manolo Blahnik have joineed forces to create a jewelry collection inspired by the designer's Campari shoe. Manolo Blahnik for Tous will be launched this March in 300 Tous boutiques world-wide, starting in Mexico and then Rockefeller Center in Manhattan. Later, Manolo Blahnik boutiques and luxury stores internationally will carry Manolo's first gem for TOUS.
Manolo Blahnik met Rosa Tous at a luncheon in Madrid last summer. He commented on her elegance and the charming teddy bear pendant she was wearing. She said she would love for him to design a piece for Tous. The two put their heads together and Manolo said, "Let's do my famous mary jane shoe 'Campari,' as a charm!" Rosa said, "I love it! Let's do it dangling from a gold chain with a diamond button!"
The collection also included a pair of Manolo Blahnik shoes in sterling silver. The packaging for the silver shoes is a revamp of Manolo's classic shoebox. You can see the jewelry on Tous.com.
Blahnik also collaborated with Tous on a footwear collection in 2012. Take a look:
