Literally translated from Italian, Devani or de-vanita means from vanity. Devani is the name of couture footwear line designed for women who relish the latest looks of the European runaways but think twice about paying the high prices of Italian made shoes.

With high-end Italian made shoes settling in the $1000 price range, these days post euro, the Devani line sensibly offers original designs developed in Europe using the best Italian leathers and components. This fall 2008 premiere season is described by designer Carol de Leon, as inpired by Art Deco and Modernismo.

Geometric shapes are seen in the novel constructions; double platforms stacked like toy blocks and aggressive wedges with intricate details makes the Devani line an interesting, original, fashion forward new collection of footwear unlike anything else on the market. With fall price point averaging $240 retail, Devani line is not considered inexpensive; however the line is positioned at a very modest price point considering other European brands. With its unique couture looks, quality craftsmanship and intricate details, Devani is a sensible choice for a fashionista who falls in love with the styles and is able to buy into " a little indulgence" and a lot of luxury. Looking good and still having change in your pocket - this is sensible vanity.
