Dupplo Espadrilles

By | Animals and Pets, Fashion, For kids | 4 Comments

Heart2Heart visited the Whitespace market today to see the new products of Tin!  ESPADRILLES!!!  I remember when we were teenagers and we would collect all the colors of espadrilles.  The beauty about Tin’s espadrilles is that they are made in our very own country, in CEBU!  Love the embroidered kids designs!! I told Tin to make animal designs for me! 🙂  and maybe other bigger girls and ladies might want some.  My 3 boys already ordered Men’s size!  We all love them!  Good luck Tin! For sure you will sell a lot – they are adorable!
