Recently–launched shoe label Mantra Official was founded by friends Siobhan Murray, Suzanne Jackson and Terrie McEvoy. “Traditionally high quality comes with a hefty price tag and we are trying to bridge that gap; investment pieces but not at designer prices,” says Jackson about the collection. Starting off with a great classic leather boot collection, the trio have recently delivered the perfect pair of summer flats. Mantra’s new signature Audrey two-tone leather ballerina pumps are named after actress Audrey Hepburn, who was a big source of inspiration for the founders. The nude and black pair will go with practically anything. Available in sizes 3-8UK; www.mantraofficial.com

Irish luxury sneaker label Sampla (Irish for Sample) is made up of a small group of friends that have shared interests in design, humanitarianism and the environment. Their combined goal is to design chic sneakers using sustainable materials (vegan leather) under ethical working conditions (produced by hand) and that are affordable. Quality comes before quantity: every pair of Sampla sneakers is hand-crafted in Portugal and the company plants an indigenous tree for every pair produced.
