A shimmer PU leather Mary Jane flat with a soft velvet tie bow on the velcro strap, padded lining, cushioned footbed and a non-slip rubber sole, available in gold, red, silver and black for ages 0 to 18 months
Few baby shoes manage to feel both genuinely elegant and genuinely practical, but these do. The baby girls shoes with velvet tie bow combine a classic Mary Jane flat silhouette with a shimmer PU leather upper and a luxurious velvet bow on the side strap, giving them a dressy, occasion-ready appearance that stands out immediately.
At £12.99 with four colour options and three sizes covering birth to 18 months, they offer outstanding value for a shoe that looks and feels far more expensive than it is. They are equally well suited to parties and photoshoots as they are to pram trips and everyday outings.
What Makes These Shoes Special
The upper is made from a soft PU leather with a subtle shimmer finish that catches the light without looking overly flashy. The texture is smooth and clean, giving the shoe a polished appearance that suits both casual and formal outfits.
The standout feature is the velvet bow, which sits on the velcro strap that runs across the instep. The bow is made from soft, textured velvet ribbon tied into a small, structured knot. It has a tactile quality that feels premium and sits beautifully in photographs. On most colours the bow is colour-matched to the shoe for a cohesive look. The gold version pairs with a contrasting dusty pink velvet bow, which gives it a more distinctive, fashion-forward feel compared to the other options.
The interior is padded with a soft lining throughout and a cushioned footbed that sits gently against the sole of the foot. There are no rough seams or hard edges inside the shoe. Getting the shoes on and off is straightforward thanks to the velcro strap, which opens wide enough to slip the foot in easily and then fastens securely across the instep.
The rubber sole is clearly designed with early walkers in mind. The underside has a patterned non-slip texture that provides grip on smooth indoor floors, making these suitable for babies who are beginning to pull up, cruise along furniture or take their first steps.
These shoes pair beautifully across a wide range of baby and toddler dresses. The gold version works especially well with our baby girl rainbow tulle dress, while the black and silver versions complement our girls sequin party dresses.
Four Colours to Choose From
The gold version has a warm rose-gold shimmer finish paired with a contrasting dusty pink velvet bow. It is the most distinctive of the four and works beautifully for spring and summer occasions, photoshoots and rainbow or pastel-themed birthday parties.
The red version is bold and vibrant with a tone-on-tone red velvet bow. It is a standout choice for Christmas events, winter weddings and any occasion where a confident, eye-catching shoe is wanted. It photographs strikingly well against white and cream outfits.
The silver version has a bright, cool-toned metallic finish with a white velvet bow. It is the most versatile of the four, working naturally alongside both pastel and darker outfit colours and suiting a broad range of occasions from weddings to birthday parties.
The black version is timeless and elegant with a matching black velvet bow. It is the most sophisticated option and suits formal events, winter gatherings and any occasion where a refined, classic shoe is appropriate. It also pairs naturally with the widest range of outfit colours.

How to Care for These Shoes
Wipe the PU leather upper clean with a soft damp cloth and allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Do not soak or machine wash. The velvet bow can be gently brushed with a soft cloth to restore its texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the gold version the same gold tone as the image?
Yes. The gold version has a warm rose-gold shimmer finish rather than a bright or yellow-toned gold. The dusty pink velvet bow on the strap gives it a softer, more feminine appearance than a standard gold shoe. It photographs particularly well in natural light where the shimmer reads as a warm, subtle glow rather than a harsh metallic.
Will the velvet bow keep its shape after wear?
The velvet bow holds its shape well under normal wear conditions. As with all velvet, it can flatten slightly if compressed or stored tightly. Gently reshaping the bow with your fingers and brushing the velvet lightly with a soft cloth will restore its texture and appearance. Storing the shoes with the bow facing upward rather than pressed flat will help maintain the shape between wears.
Are these shoes suitable for a baby who is beginning to walk?
Yes. The non-slip rubber sole has a patterned grip texture that provides traction on smooth indoor floors, which is important for babies at the early walking stage who are still developing their balance. The velcro strap also keeps the shoe securely on the foot during movement, which is a common concern with slip-on styles at this age.
Which colour works best for a wedding?
Silver and white are the most traditional choices for weddings and suit both classic and contemporary wedding colour palettes. Gold works beautifully for more bohemian, rustic or autumn weddings. Black suits formal and winter weddings and pairs well with a navy or black occasion outfit. Red is best suited to winter weddings where a bold pop of colour is welcome.
Do these make a good baby shower or birthday gift?
They make an excellent gift. The shimmer finish and velvet bow make them feel genuinely special to receive, and at £12.99 they represent real value for a shoe that looks so considered. Because they cover three sizes from birth to 18 months, you can choose a slightly larger size so the family has a beautiful pair ready for an upcoming occasion. Pair with one of our girls dresses for a complete outfit gift.
My baby is between two sizes. Which should I order?
Always size up. A slightly larger sole gives the foot more room to develop naturally and does not compromise the fit significantly, as the velcro strap can be tightened to hold the shoe securely regardless of which size is chosen.
