Dear All of our Lovely Customers,
Reluctantly, with the ever-rising costs of handcrafting unbelievably comfortable and elegant dance shoes here in Great Britain, we are going to be increasing our retail prices as of the 1st March 2015 for the first time since August 2013.
The average increase is around 4%, which enables us to account for the cost increases of raw materials and components that we have incurred and absorbed over the past 18 months. These include increases in everything from upper materials to glue.
We’re always proud to manufacture here in Great Britain and we’re extremely grateful to our forever loyal following for continuing to buy and wear our shoes despite lower cost imported alternatives that are available on the market today. Our approach is simply to produce the best possible shoes, using the finest materials and components available to us to deliver you all a high quality dance shoe that is longer lasting, more comfortable, more supportive and of course more beautiful than any comparable product.
We at International Dance Shoes are committed to quality and are firm believers that shoes hand-made in Great Britain represent a superior level of quality and these price increases enable us to maintain a sustainable business model built on quality, great service and continuous product innovation.
We thank you all for reading, and hope that you can understand this requirement. Of course, you're more than welcome to place any orders in-between now and the 1st of March to benefit from current prices!
If you have any queries on anything at all, then please don’t hesitate to call us on +44(0)1908 319937, or email us at sales@ids-danceshoes.co.uk.
Yours sincerely,
International Dance Shoes
