Singapore-based designer shoe brand Oleah celebrates femininity with their running themes of pastel hues and soft bright colours in their shoe designs and patterns. They also love to put a sense of modern quirk into their creations like their Paddle Pop shoes made with a dusty coral, an off-white vanilla patent and a little peek-a-boo blue, which hark back to the nostalgic days of eating a Paddle Pop popsicle after school. Their passion in wanting to brighten their customers’ days with their designs is also evident in their efforts to focus on shoe construction and Italian leather that are put together by master craftsmen in Europe for the wearer’s comfort.
