Letter-from-rose-jenny
A letter from Rose, Rowan & Rose, Sydney. October 2026
Her summer sandals are either pretty and painful, or comfortable and dull. She wants one pair that is both.
On the six things that made me choose the Jenny, how it compares to what you have been wearing, and why it is $84.95 in our Retirement Sale.
This is the one.
I am Rose. Every summer, women come into our shop looking for the same thing: a sandal they can wear all day that still looks lovely with a dress.
The pretty ones rub by lunchtime. The comfortable ones look like something for the garden. And the bright ones never seem to go with anything.
I never accepted that she had to choose.
The Jenny is my answer. A light, flat sandal with soft, elegant lines and a glow of colour that makes every summer outfit look a little more finished. There were six things I would not do without.
Lines that flatter the foot
The Jenny in silver.
This is what caught my eye. The soft, curving straps follow the shape of the foot and create a naturally longer, more graceful look. Simple, feminine and elegant.
★★★★★
"They make my feet look so elegant. I get compliments every time."
Sara, Melbourne
A flat sole for all-day comfort
The flat, comfortable sole means you can wear them from morning to evening. Walk the markets, the promenade or the shops, without counting the minutes until you can take them off.
★★★★★
"Wore them all day walking around town and my feet were happy."
Angelique, Sydney
Light on your feet
The Jenny in magenta.
They are lightweight and easy, the kind of sandal you slip into without thinking and forget you are wearing. Practical, without ever looking practical.
★★★★★
"So light, I forget I'm wearing them."
Miriam, Sydney
A touch of radiance
The luminous finish adds a glow to any summer look. Gold and silver go with everything. The brighter shades add a little joy to a white dress or linen trousers.
★★★★★
"The gold goes with every outfit I own. They make everything look dressier."
Mariette, Palm Beach
From holidays to outdoor dinners
Lovely with white trousers and summer dresses.
Holidays, leisurely walks, outdoor dinners and summer gatherings. Beautiful with dresses, skirts, linen trousers or jeans. One pair for the whole season.
★★★★★
"Took only these on holiday. Beach walks in the day, dinner at night."
Lisa, Palm Beach
Seven colours, AU 5 to AU 12
Golden, Silver, Magenta, Green, Blue, Pink and Fuchsia.
Golden and silver for every day. Blue, green and pink for something softer. Magenta and fuchsia when you want a pop of colour. Every size from AU 5 to AU 12 at one price.
★★★★★
"Bought the gold, then went back for the blue. True to size."
Lisanne, Parramatta
The Jenny, against what you have been wearing
| The usual summer sandal | The Jenny | |
|---|---|---|
| Look | Plain or clumpy | Elegant, curving lines |
| Comfort | Rubs by lunchtime | Flat, light, all-day wear |
| Finish | Dull and flat | A luminous glow |
| Outfits | Only with casual clothes | Dresses, linen, skirts and jeans |
| Choice | Black or brown | Seven colours, AU 5 to 12 |
I refuse to sell a woman a sandal that makes her choose between pretty and comfortable. That is the whole reason the Jenny is in our shop.
Why it is $84.95
The Jenny is part of our Retirement Sale. Rowan and I are slowing down, and we would rather our last pairs go to women who will wear them than sit in a box.
Summer is almost here. This is the sandal you will wear every warm day until March.
When a size sells out, it will not come back.

I have watched a lot of women try on a pair like this. They expect a flat sandal to look ordinary. Then they look down, and they see how elegant their feet look.
And then they walk. That is when they know.
You can have pretty and comfortable. Go and find your size.
With love,
Rose, Rowan & Rose
