Coutour Shoe Boxes


To all my shoe fetish and clean freak friends this product is for you. I read about this in the Rachel Zoe newsletter and fell in love with the idea. Closet Fetish offers a great organizational tool for your closet a couture shoebox. Store your treasured soles in style with these colorful cases. These boxes come in a variety of colors - Stiletto Red (my favorite), Ballerina Slipper pink, Lavender, Light Blue, Chocolate Brown, and Beige. Each box includes a frame on the outside, so you can display a picture of the enclosed platforms. Not only will these stackable boxes help you sort your flats from your heels, but they will also prolong the life of whatever treasures are inside.

Before and After

And just jealous!
