What are Stephen Bonanno's

What are Stephen Bonanno's you ask???  What is all the Hype??? And...... WHY are they so expensive????  Well.....  These are the questions I asked myself a couple of years ago while searching the internet for new shoes.  I happened upon a website in Stuart Florida that sold Monogrammed Sandals.  Well... we all know that is perfect for me. My first thoughts were, "wow those are amazing" then "holy cow those are expensive". LOL  I started reading the story of these shoes and let's just say it didn't take long for me to bite the bullet and let Steve buy me a pair. LOL  It was a fun process, I designed the shoe from top to bottom, sandal style, heel size, base and whip stitch color and optional monogram  and then waited 6 weeks for them to arrive. It was like Christmas morning.  When I opened the box and pulled out my first shoe I knew why these jems were pricey.  They would be a staple in my wardrobe from that day forward, re soling after resoling.  These classic shoes would never leave my closet.  And so the story began, my love affair with a pair of sandals that railroaded my closet from one to six pair, convincing my partner to take the splurge (*she has four pair) and begin selling these to our fellow whimsies. They are so unique and wonderful you will surely see why the saying goes, "It's Bonanno's or barefoot".  Check out our extensive line on the website, www.whimsicallychic.com.
