It was said of Imelda Marcos that, "They searched her wardrobe for skeletons but only found fabulous shoes". Named after this most famous shoe collector of all time, Imelda's in Ramsbottom's town centre stocks an astonishing array of stunning footwear along with some superb handbags and other accessories. The boutique, with its distinctive cream canopy, was established in 2003 by Deana Stannard who had previously been working at Harrods in London. Deana travels twice a year to Milan, Paris and Spain to seek out the most striking quality footwear she can find. She also seeks out gorgeous hand-made handbags (mostly Italian) and accessories from such leading names as Rodo, Gardenia, Givenchy, Emilio Pucci and other select houses.

Back in Lancashire, these stunning creations are cleverly displayed with minimalist panache _ a single shoe, for example, on its separate glass shelf. Subdued lighting and unobtrusive background music all add to the atmosphere of a shrine to the shoe. Deana and her knowledgeable and friendly staff provide a very personal service and Deana even offers an out-of-hours service if required. No wonder discerning shoppers travel from all over the northwest to marvel at the shoe's Imelda's displays.
