Tangospeak.com introduces Taconeando!
I am excited to announce Tangospeak has a new brand of tango shoes in stock: TACONEANDO! Just like she was the first retailer in North America for GretaFlora - tangospeak.com will be the first retailer in North America to sell Taconeando shoes, made in Buenos Aires by the very lovely Marlene Taconeando who is as equally talented on the dance floors of El Beso as she is at designing tango shoes for the young dancer.
I first discovered this brand in Buenos Aires when I walked into their newly opened shop and saw a dazzling array of tango shoes in every colour imaginable. It was like looking at rainbows! I knew immediately her shoes would be a huge hit in North America and was very excited to help make this happen.
ATTENTION: Whoever buys the Barbie Pink! Taconeandos - as seen in the photo on the left will get a second pair of Taconeandos at 25% off. Whomever decides that they must have these shoes will rock my world with their out of sight coolness factor. Those shoes are just deliciously and perfectly pink. It’s the absolutely girliest pink one can get. It remind of the Barbie doll I had as a kid, the only thing she ever wore was a pink pink bathing suit. As soon as I saw these shoes, I was in love. “If that isn’t Barbie pink, I don’t know what is,” I thought. Marlene and I were delighted to see that each other was as equally crazy about those pink shoes. “I LOVE them.” “Me too! I am in LOVE with them.” Instant respect for each other.
Check out what’s available in stock by checking out the Taconeando drop down menu in the right hand column. Check out the metallic ones first. So shimmery on the dance floor.
60 new pairs of GretaFlora shoes now in stock!
On June 13th, 2009, Tangospeak brought back with her 60 pairs of tango shoes all the way from Argentina. They certainly raised eyebrows in Canada Customs. Ever seen several giant men with bulletproof vests hover around countertops full of shoes? It was quite a sight to see. Go ahead, check out the GretaFlora dropdown meny in the right hand column and see what I’ve got in stock. Gretaflora tango shoes are the tango equivalent of urban streetwear. There’s the nod to tradition fused with fresh updated modernity. Art Deco, Marilyn Monroe, intelligence and creative architecture of footwear come to mind. One once said to me upon spying me wearing black Renatas with the bronze trim - they make you look so…womanly.
