Ok, pinch me again. 3000 five-star reviews?! Get outta town! Last time I wrote one of these, we'd just ticked over 2000, and I honestly thought that number would take forever to beat. Turns out you lot had other plans. The humbling bit never gets old, 3000 of you (a whole 3k!) have gone out of your way to give your avarcas five stars, and so many of you left the kindest words too. I still can't quite believe it.
It was love at first sight for me. At 6'2, I was completely over ballet flats and the dreaded variety of thongs on offer. I slid on a pair of gorgeous Avarcas and thought "these shoes are sexy!" That love was instant, and honestly? Still is.
I launched Avarcas Australia back in 2016, starting out at markets and mostly selling to friends (which felt incredible in itself). What began as a side hustle turned into a proper business within six months, and now, years on, we've hit 3000 five-star reviews. WOW.
We've had a lot of designs come and go over the years — some hits, some… let's just say lessons learned. But a handful have become genuine wardrobe staples for so many of you, and I want to celebrate them today.
Here are the pretty shoes you love most right now.
Our current number one, and honestly, no surprises there. Tan Vintage has that lived-in, worn-a-thousand-times-already look from the moment you unbox them. Soft, warm and endlessly easy to style. Denim, dresses, holiday luggage, the school run- they just work.
"These are hands down the comfiest shoes I own. I get compliments every single time I wear them, and I've already got my eye on a second pair." ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Ah, ol' ye faithful. Tan Nubuck has been a staple for years, and it's easy to see why; comfy, versatile, and it goes with everything from edgy denim to pretty frocks. A true classic that just keeps earning its five stars.
"My go-to shoes for absolutely everything. Comfortable straight out of the box and they go with anything in my wardrobe." ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
No surprise our Black avarcas hold their spot near the top. You can't beat a tried-and-true classic. Smooth leather with a slight sheen, perfect for work or play, and somehow they go with literally everything.
"I wear these for work all day, every day, and my feet have never been happier. Already planning my next colour." ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Trends come and go, but in my humble opinion, glitter never dates. Coco Glitter is our resident mood-booster because who doesn't want to prance around in sparkly shoes? A firm favourite that just keeps racking up the five-star love.
"Best shoes ever! So comfy, so easy to wear, and I get compliments wherever I go. Glitter shoes for the win!" ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
It's one thing to love what you do. It's another thing entirely when thousands of other people (not just your Mum!) become bona fide fans too. Thank you for every review, every kind word, and every pair you've slipped your feet into over the years. You've made this Avarcas freak one very happy lady.
Yours in shoes + reviews,
Nae xx
