Collection: Lelli Kelly

Lelli Kelly is an Italian children's footwear brand from Tuscany, established in the 1990s. The brand creates beautifully embellished shoes for girls — sparkles, sequins, embroidered flowers, hand-painted designs, glitter trims — that make every pair feel like a special occasion. Lelli Kelly is now one of the most-collected children's footwear brands in Europe.

What distinguishes Lelli Kelly from competitor children's brands is the commitment to detail. Each pair is hand-finished, with embellishments individually applied rather than mass-produced. Many styles include a small free gift in the box — a matching purse, hair accessory, necklace or doll's-sized pair of shoes — that adds to the magic for young wearers.

The range covers school shoes (yes, even school shoes get the Lelli Kelly treatment with subtle sparkles and patent finishes), party shoes for occasions, casual trainers, ballet flats, ankle boots and summer sandals. Every style is designed in Italy with proper consideration for growing feet — flexible soles, padded ankle collars, and adequate toe room.

Lelli Kelly sizing uses EU sizes converted to UK on our site. The brand generally runs true to UK kids' standards, though party shoes with patent leather uppers can feel slightly snug for the first few wears — these soften with use. Children's feet should be measured every 8-10 weeks while growing; visit any Cordners store for free measuring.

Care: the embellishments are the most delicate part of any Lelli Kelly shoe. Gently sponge-clean the uppers — avoid machine washing as it can damage sequins, glitter and embroidery. Patent leather styles wipe clean with a damp cloth. Many parents keep Lelli Kelly party shoes as keepsakes after the children outgrow them; the build quality holds up well to display long after wear has ended.
