Shoes run in the family here. Juliana’s passion for fancy footwear started young, inspired by her mother’s collection, and after training as a landscape architect, she realised her destiny lay in shoe design. Find her ultra-feminine, retro-style leather footwear here in her Vila Madalena boutique, where simple white brick walls and yellow shelves let the shoes do the selling. Flat sandals start at around the R$380 mark and high heels will set you back the best part of R$500, which might seem steep but they are all made with an impeccable finish. And while the heels are more for show than for withstanding any serious walking, they’re still worth every cent.
