Letter-from-rose-lorilee
A letter from Rose, Rowan & Rose, Sydney. October 2026
She wants a sandal with a little lift for summer dresses. Every wedge she tries feels like walking on a plank.
On the six things that made me choose the Lorilee, how it compares to what you have been wearing, and why it is $79.95 in our Retirement Sale.
This is the one.
I am Rose. A summer dress looks lovely with a little height underneath it. Every woman knows that.
But most wedges are hard, heavy and wobbly. Lovely in the shop, and off your feet by the time the main course arrives.
So she wears flat sandals again, and the dress never looks quite as good as it did in the mirror.
I never accepted that a little height had to be uncomfortable.
The Lorilee is my answer. A cushioned platform wedge with soft, adjustable buckle straps and a non-slip insole. There were six things I would not do without.
A cushioned platform wedge
A soft wedge with a gentle lift.
This is what won me over. The platform and wedge give you a gentle lift with generous cushioning underneath. You get the height that makes a dress look its best, with a soft feel through long days of standing and walking.
★★★★★
"A bit of height and they're still so comfortable. I wore them all day."
Sara, Melbourne
Adjustable buckle straps
The soft PU leather buckle straps let you set the fit exactly as you like it. They hold the foot securely, so the sandal does not slip, and you can loosen them on warmer afternoons.
★★★★★
"I love that I can adjust the straps. They fit my feet perfectly."
Angelique, Sydney
A non-slip, supportive insole
An insole that spreads your weight.
The non-slip insole is designed to spread your weight evenly across the foot. You feel steady and supported with every step, on the footpath, the promenade or the dance floor.
★★★★★
"So steady for a wedge. I never felt wobbly once."
Miriam, Sydney
Breathable on warm days
The open design and quality upper let the air flow around your feet, so they stay fresh through hot summer afternoons and long evenings out.
★★★★★
"My feet stayed cool even on a really hot day."
Mariette, Palm Beach
Elegant with every summer outfit
Lovely with dresses and linen trousers.
Summer dresses, wide-leg linen trousers, cropped jeans and maxi skirts. Garden parties, holidays and casual outings. One pair that lifts every outfit.
★★★★★
"They make my summer dresses look so much better."
Lisa, Palm Beach
Four colours, AU 4 to AU 12
Blue, Brown, Burgundy and Green.
Warm brown for every day. Blue, burgundy and green for a touch of colour. Every size from AU 4 (EU 35) to AU 12 (EU 43) at the same price.
★★★★★
"Bought the brown, and now I want the burgundy too."
Lisanne, Parramatta
The Lorilee, against what you have been wearing

I refuse to sell a woman a sandal that makes her pay for a little height. That is the whole reason the Lorilee is in our shop.
Why it is $79.95
The Lorilee 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 for every dress you own.
When a size sells out, it will not come back.

I have watched a lot of women try on the Lorilee. They stand up a little taller and look at their dress in the mirror. Then they walk to the door and back, and they stop worrying.
That is the moment they know.
You can have the height and the comfort. Go and find your size.
With love,
Rose, Rowan & Rose
