The Perfect Shoe...

This is not the first time you have heard the sentiment I am about to express. Are you ready? My name is Elizabeth, and I have been trying to make an effort to get out of my sweats and sneakers. I feel like it’s a confession I need to keep repeating. I have been working at the store more as spring warms up and had more social engagements in the last month than I have had in a very long time - just like everyone reading this. When I went to unpack my flats, however, they look sad… really sad. Maybe it was because they were under my bed for a year, or I just didn’t realize how much I had worn them down before I packed them up, but I realized I needed a refresh.The problem was, I didn’t have anything in the store with which to replace them. I like a very plain and pointy flat. It is the shoe I wear the most in black and nude. I had seen the perfect version of this shoe on Tibi’s Instagram account. The problem was - they didn’t sell that shoe to stores; they were only available online. So, I decided to beg, maybe it was more groveling or just complete and utter annoying them, but they finally agreed to let me carry their shoes. As of today, we are the only place in America where you can get this great shoe besides the Tibi online store. We have some more styles coming in soon, but we got these perfect flats in nude and black to start. They really are the most perfect shoe. I hope you will love them as much as I do!

I spent the first part of my career as a copywriter who helped elected officials brag about their support for entrepreneurs. Then I decided to get off the printed page and do it myself. The Shoe Hive made a splash on the fashion scene in Washington, and was named the region’s best shoe store in its first year. Fourteen years later, I have tripled the store’s size and also opened a sister store, The Hive.  At The Hive, we offer clothing lines that are sophisticated and approachable like Rag & Bone, Tibi, Raquel Allegra, Ulla Johnson and Veronica Beard. We have tried to fill our racks with clothing you will want to wear all the time, elevated basics that are worth the investment.
