My Pumps Range
My shoes are crafted using high-quality canvas materials, ensuring both durability and comfort. The shoes feature a centered padding, strategically placed in the middle to provide superior cushioning and support, enhancing the wearer's overall comfort.
Available in limited stock, these shoes are offered only while the canvas material remains available, making them a unique addition to any wardrobe.
Meet Mariska The Founder Of Elkelente
"Allow me to share my journey into shoe design, a dream that took root when I was just 15 or 16 years old. In the corridors of my aspirations, I envisioned a brand named 'Be Yourself.' High heels have always been my obsession. When I moved in with my then-boyfriend, now my husband, he was taken aback by my collection – 144 pairs to be exact. Among them, my first and favorite pair was an inexpensive purple plastic set from a local supermarket in 1994, South Africa. Those heels traveled with me everywhere, from short trips to the dam to shopping excursions, and even holidays. My mom possessed a treasure trove of beautiful shoes, off-limits to me. As a teenager, I couldn't resist the allure and borrowed her shoes, leaving her unaware. Elkelente, her middle name, captivated me, becoming the namesake for my business.
The SunFlower Behind Elkelente
The sunflower in our logo symbolizes my battle with Endometriosis, a condition that silently plagued my teenage years. Diagnosed in 2015 at stage 4, I reflect on the missed opportunities for early intervention. The Sunflower, now a beacon, aims to empower teenage girls facing menstrual difficulties to seek help.
Elkelente's vision extends to the Classy Modern Women who appreciate elegance. My inspiration, Princess Diana, epitomized modern elegance. With her passing in 1997, I feared losing that elegance forever. Hence, my brand caters to the Strong Modern Classy ladies in this man’s world. 'How You Make Me Feel' is more than a collection; it's a mantra. For you, the strong, modern, classy lady, confidence blossoms when you look and feel beautiful."
