The cult footwear label Blu Betty is back in Joburg on for another fab two-day only pop-up. An e-commerce store with a huge social media following, Blu Betty's pop-up is always a lively and festive affair, hosted at the Sir James van der Merwe and Katy's Palace Bar venue in the design district of Kramerville.

A proudly South African brand – with a collective 70 years of experience in the footwear game – manufactured in Durban, KwaZulu Natal, Blu Betty specialises in beautiful handmade leather footwear in a variety of quirky and cute designs, from leather sandals and brogues, to ballet pumps, ankle boots and kicks. You can also pair your shoes with a statement matching leather tote bag or saddlebag in a range of vibrant colours from their accessories collection.

The company subscribes to slow fashion. It's a brand designed with vintage inspiration and one that sets its sights on effortless style – you'll find classic designs as well as more contemporary iterations of their shoe designs.   

The pop-up will be packed as always with the newest Blu Betty designs, and the thrifty can find some great deals on the 'imperfect perfect' factory flaw items that are not usually on sale. 

The venue itself, Katy's Palace Bar, is always a draw. Akin to an explorer's treasure chest stuffed with a vintage-chic collection of the covetable antiques, African artefacts and other quirky items from across the world, it is also endowed with a unique Sandton skyline view.

Doors open at 08:30. Form an orderly queue... Follow them on Instagram here. On Friday, enjoy late-night shopping. The wine accompanying it will be free.
