Why LK Bennett shoes are a favourite of the Duchess of Cambridge

L.K. Bennett is now an international luxury fashion house and leading British brand that offers sophisticated collections of shoes, clothing and accessories.

Her signature shoe collections quickly became popular among celebrities and stylish woman alike and were soon renowned for the essence of British elegance and style found in all of Bennett’s designs. After growing from humble beginnings of her first store in Wimbledon village, the brand continues to expand the over 135 strong international retail stores to create a luxury British label with a twist.
