CocoRose Foldable pumps - why we love them, and you should too!



You've seen them, those ingenious little shoes that fold up into a cute purse to pop into your handbag, use them for after a night out, or in our case, for the commute to work.
Looking good for the office means wearing high heels for most of us women, however, they can be quite uncomfortable to wear when getting to and from the office, or running a quick errand.
Janan Leo, founder of Cocorose foldable ballet pumps, used her background in new product development, to bring us a great solution to this problem!
At wearittowork.co.uk we fell in love with the foldable ballet pumps the minute we saw them. Not only do they come in fabulous designs, and fold into a stylish little purse, they are also sturdy and well put together. This is one of the main reasons why we felt they would be right to sell online to working women. Other models of foldable shoes in the market just don't offer the strong soles and comfort that cocorose does, meaning this is a foldable shoe that will last! Another advantage is that the elastic is perfectly comfortable around the foot, and doesn't feel tighter than it should. These gems are made to last! So save your lovely heels from the commuting wear and tear, and save your feet and back from pain - love these foldable shoes by Cocorose!

Further information:

Cocorose London's original and unique concept for foldable ballet pumps offers women a stylish alternative to wearing high heels, when their feet ache. The innovative shoes fold into their own compact purse which also holds a foldable shoulder bag in its hidden back pocket. Ideal for handbags, travel case and glove compartments, the wearer can easily swap her footwear when desired and slide her high heels into the accompanying shoulder bag.
Our foldable flats have been designed with comfort and style in mind. Cocorose London’s shoes come in 3 sizes; petite (UK 3-4, EU 36-37), regular (UK 5-6, EU 38-39) and grande (UK 7-8, EU 40-41). We’ve put extra padding in the shoes to make them soft and spongy. The outer soles are thin enough so the shoes are a compact size but thick enough so that you can wear these shoes all day long. The shoes have a deep enough plunge at the front, revealing just a hint of toe cleavage. Cocorose London's shoes have an almond shaped toe, an elasticated opening and simply slip on. Upper – PU; Inner sole – leather; Outer sole – TPR.

October 1st is Jeans for Genes Day! Wear your jeans to work for a great cause!


Make your Jeans for Genes Day a huge success.  Our 'ten reasons’ will get everyone behind you.

1.  It's fun and simple to organise.  All you have to do is ask people to come to work in their jeans and make a donation of £2.

2.  It’s a great way to bring a team, a floor or the whole company together.

3.  It can help to raise the profile of your organisation – highlight your fundraising in your annual report, on your website and in your local paper or trade magazine.

4.  Staff will think it’s great – the boss will look good for letting you all wear your jeans.

5.  Although, individually, genetic disorders are rare, together they are the biggest killer of children 14 and under.

"We act for a number of children and so we see first hand how genetic problems can affect them and their families.  Whilst this is just a small way we can help, we are committed to providing continual support for such a good cause"Deena Watkins, partner at Wilson Browne Solicitors

6.  Create a bit of role reversal and give the boss a 'day off' – sponsor him or her to make the tea or do the photocopying.

7.  £250 pays for a child and their family to be seen at home by a clinical nurse specialist, an expert in their child's condition, who can help with every aspect of their care.

8.  Wearing jeans and having some fun in the office starts the weekend that bit earlier.

9.  Raising money on Jeans for Genes Day helps your company to meet its corporate social responsibility targets.

10.  The fun and fundraising don't have to stop at 5.30pm.  Make a night of it and hold a pub quiz or karaoke night at the local pub.
