Everyone report to the dance floor – that’s an order! As lockdown gradually lifts, we’ve come together to create this disco-ready Liquid Metal collection to soothe your every groove.
This exclusive capsule collection will give our community the chance to celebrate the return of the party scene with four individually designed party platforms, the perfect pull-on for all-night dancing.
Complete with four tonal designs – each inspired by the liquid metal reflections of the summer club scene and evoking memories of the Hi-Gloss You’ll Never Know album – the collection is innovative, yet unique, as it stays true to our famous 70s style.
Available in a range of sizes from 36-41, with styles including metallic orange pink, gold black, gold green, and emerald green. Lightning bolt artworks create a bold fashion statement on each peep-toe shoe. Each of the four designs reflects the disco scene, which we know is where, pre-lockdown, our community would be found. A classic take on the 70’s, our newest Liquid Metal Collection is the perfect pre-party treat. So join us as we ease out of lockdown and back onto the dance floor.
The Liquid Metal collection is individual, bold, and confident – just like our community – and we can’t wait to see our shoes on the dancefloor as the world begins to return to normality. It will be available to shop online from Midday, Friday the 7th of May.

Positivity this year more than ever is at the forefront of the exciting collections we have planned, think bright colours, tailored textures and the highest of heels… perfect for the predicted spring trends. Speaking of spring, to celebrate the new season behind the scenes we’ve been busy designing an edit with the renowned jeweller, Carter Gore.
We have teamed up with maverick British jewellery brand Carter Gore to produce limited-edition British made solid silver charms, designed especially for your Terry de Havilland shoes.
Here’s some BTS during the design process:

I think everyone started their 2021 off how we ended 2020 – binge-watching tv shows, but at least the BBC gave us a thriller we couldn’t miss. If you haven’t seen the Serpent already you simply must stop what you are doing (unless you are shopping on Terry de Havilland) and put on BBC Iplayer. The series is based on the true story of Charles Sobhraj (Tahar Rahim) a conman and murderer posing as a gem dealer in 1970 Bangkok. If you haven’t spent lockdown 3 binge-watching the Serpent then your next weekend at home is sorted! It’s addictive viewing of free-spirited travellers on Asia’s “hippie trail” was seduced by the glamorous lifestyle and magnetic charm of Sobhraj and his girlfriend Marie-Andree Leclerc (Jenna Coleman) but many met untimely deaths. The 10 part series has been a massive success, not only for the nail-biting production but also because of the 70’s fashion worn by both Rahim and Coleman – which of course we loved!
70’s fashion is obviously our expertise but we really have been seeing a comeback in platforms, flares and oversized frames for some time now, so we loved seeing it styled in this 70’s throwback. The costume designer was Rachel Walsh who took inspiration from Jane Birkin and Bianca Jaffer when recreating Jenna Coleman’s wardrobe – 70’s icons we love.
If you want to travel round Asia this summer – but with a very different motive to these two characters – you can start packing your suitcase with Terry de Havilland platforms, the basis of every 70’s styling!
Our Aria is the ultimate 70’s platform boot. Designed in two colourways, metallic Forest Gold Silver and Suede brown and maroon tones. In true 70’s fashion, you will certainly elevate any outfit in these iconic boots. Pair with flares and a floral blouse for the complete 70’s styling.
Another iconic 70’s silhouette – the Lena platform heel. Shop the Lena in black, mint, gold, saffron, disco and papaya. All shades of the 70’s that you wouldn’t see Jenna Coleman without! To complete her Serpent styling match your Lena’s with a blazer and trouser co-ord!
Not only is the Zia a 70’s staple, but a staple to the brand. One of the first silhouette’s we designed in the ’70s and it is still as relevant today. If that doesn’t scream a staple shoe then I don’t know what does! Our Zia shoe usually consists of more than one colourway or material which makes it a stand out platform shoe. Browse this collection in gold, orange, fuchsia, silver, sorbet, blue and pink. The colourways are endless.
Jenna Coleman wasn’t wearing platforms 24/7. Strappy, pointed toe sandals were also in, the 70’s. So buy your day look shoe with the Terry de Havilland Daisy 50 – available in black and white. Finish the 70’s styling off with a silk scarf as a hair accessory and all in one boiler suit.
Now you have started the look you can complete it with some of our friends in the 70’s fashion world for flares, floral blouses, headscarves and sequined dresses.
We decided to have a quick catch up with our favourite Terry de Havilland girls, Lucy Matthews. If you follow us on Instagram (which you should) then you will have seen us repost Lucy Matthews wearing our new SS20 collection boots, the Val White. Her style fits our brand effortlessly and we wanted to find out who her style icons are, why she loves our brand and her tips to styling our Val boot. Check out her Q&A below:
I would personally describe my style as a modern and simplistic take on the ’60s & 70’s fashion. I love to incorporate modern trends with a vintage element, to give it my own stamp and to make it more me! Often if I pick out an item of clothing and show my friends, I get the response; “it’s very you!” But I tend to stay clear of any of the intense vintage trends as I don’t want my outfit to come across as too ‘costumey’! So I love to pair more classic pieces with some statement items.
Hands down my biggest fashion influences are 60’s and 70’s music icons – male & female! I love to add a masculine edge to some more feminine outfits to make the outfit in my opinion ‘abit cooler’.
I absolutely adore Francois Hardy, she is a true Parisian IT girl. She epitomizes the 60’s and 70’s french fashion, but in the coolest & simple approach.
I love the history of the TDH shoes & who the brand has dressed! I love the identifiable inspiration behind the shoe designs. I think they are the perfect statement to add to any outfit.
100% the White Val Boots! They amp up any outfit, I love pairing them with my dresses & skirts. The white creates such a statement which I love! The length and style add a beautiful vintage element to my outfits.
I absolutely love knee-high boots, it’s an autumn/winter staple for me! I’m not one to pair them with trousers, but I think they look mega with skirts and dresses. Whether that be a classic mini length or paired under a midi/maxi dress! – that is why our Val boot is perfect all year round!

We have recently collaborated with Rockett St George for September to give all our Terry de Havilland girls the chance to win a £150 voucher to spend on our latest 70’s platforms.
Rockett St George was founded in 2007 by two friends Lucy and Jane – a match made in interiors heaven, both with combinable skills in PR and photography with a love of interior design. They spent their weekends trailing antique shops, flea markets and car boot sales and redecorating them to create a completely new design. They started building their website and it went from there.
Their eye for style and interiors matches the Terry de Havilland aesthetic and we just knew we had to collaborate with them in some way so we created the #StylishShoeStorage competition!
For Rockett St George’s monthly Instagram & Facebook competition, their new theme is #StylishShoeStorage. A brilliant thing to do this September, find out how to enter below:
We can’t wait to see what you guys have come up with!
Look at some Terry de Havilland X Rockett St George inspiration below:

Our Zia is the iconic Terry de Havilland heel, first created in the 70’s it soared in popularity, so we have reinvented in every colourway since. The Zia is available in two heel heights just in case you don’t love super high platforms, you can still find a Zia which suits you! Our new summer Zia platforms are available in an amazing seven shades:
Burnt orange Ibizan sunsets were on the mind when designing this shoe.
This high Zia in silver and gold contrast metallic leather is definitely for the party girl.
Never walk into a room unnoticed with the Zia Electric pink and silver.
What else would the Terry de Havilland bride wear?
We know the Terry de Havilland girl is not shy to a trip to Ibiza so this summer platform was simply a must, why make this summer different?
Tonal in shades of baby blue and silver, a summer shoe you can rely on for every occasion.
Not for the shy, the Zia Blue Silver will certainly be your statement accessory.
So you will definitely find a Zia that suits you!
Another statement 70’s style platform. The Lena has been with us forever, and of course, we design new Lena’s so we combine our 70’s styling with SS20 trends so they fit in with your summer wardrobe. Welcome to our SS2o Lena collection, we have added five new summer shades for you:
Animal print platforms are always fun, our Lena leopard is definitely a fun vibrant platform which can add some pattern to any simple styling!
Silver is a timeless hue which can be worn every season. Picture the Lena Silver on the beach in Ibiza to the dancefloor at Christmas.
Subtle and sophisticated, the Lena Bronze is a must, pair with bright, bold hues for a complete contrasting yet tonal 70’s summer vibe.
The iconic Terry de Havilland croc print in navy. A Terry de Havilland spring/summer collection wouldn’t be complete without it!
Lena PewterSimilar to the Lena Bronze, the Lena Pewter completes our 70’s summer collection of platforms, these tonal shades are transporting us back to the flares, oversized shades and platform days. Luckily all three of these are back in for 2020!
Another most loved summer platform at Terry de Havilland, our Sofia. You will usually find our Sofia heels in a vibrant colourway and our new SS20 collection is one of the most vibrant of them all…
Who would of thought of pairing lemon yellow and fuchsia pink together? But it works! This is a must-have summer platform for this year, the two vibrant tones compliment each other perfectly!
A personal favourite of mine the Sofia Rose Garden. The pastel colour palette is to die for, picture wearing these summer platforms with a minimal neutral tone
Lockdown restrictions may be eased, holidays may not be cancelled any more but social distancing is still important. You don’t have to go abroad to enjoy the summer, even if you are stuck in England! We can all find new ways to enjoy our summer and new places to wear our 70’s summer platforms. Enjoy house parties again, enjoy your local bars, our beautiful nature and romantic picnics! We would love to see where you enjoy your summer and new things you love to do after lockdown. Send us your Terry de Havilland selfies to our Instagram page @terrydehavilland.
It looks like summer isn’t cancelled after all then, lockdown is easing and flights are picking up again. So while you are thinking of the first destination you will be going after lockdown, we have your holiday shoe-drobe sorted! Our new spring/summer 2020 collection has just dropped and our shoe of the week is the iconic Terry de Havilland Sofia platform heel in Limon and Fuchsia metallic patent leather. You really can’t get more than a Terry de Havilland 70’s summer platform than this Sofia Limon Fuchsia. This heel is not for the minimal Terry de Havilland girl. This shoe is designed to strut along a promenade with a cocktail in hand. Just picture your 2020 Ibiza season wearing this new colourway…
So why did we decide to combine these two bright colours? Inspired by the sunset and holidays in mind, as well as the 2020 trend forecast of course, our design team knew these two colours would create the most vibrant, bold 70’s platform which would bring energy to any outfit.
The Limon Fuchsia is surprisingly easy to style. Start your outfit with the Sofia and consider the two hues: Limon and Fuchsia. You can either use the limon fuchsia colour palette to create a bold feminine party vibe – a look which will certainly turn heads, and style the platforms with a bold dress or jumpsuit. Or, you can make the shoes the ultimate statement accessory and tone the colour palette down with a neutral hue in nude, beige, white or black, your Terry de Havilland’s will certainly stand out then.
The Sofia is one of our most loved open toe platform heels, designed with creating a statement in mind with a 14 cm heel and 3 cm platform. Features of the Sofia include the lightning bolt buckle fastening and metallic strap. Of course, our Sofia is leather lined, like all our Terry de Havilland shoes, including a high-quality leather upper and leather sole. If you are wondering about how the Sofia is for sizing then we recommend you go for your usual shoe size as the Sofia is a true to size fit. The Sofia has always been a classic Terry de Havilland heel and as it is so loved, we love to return that and reinvent it every year in new colourways and styles. You will certainly shine bright in this fun summer heel, and everyone deserves to feel good in style this summer.

Our Lola boot was such a success last year we had to rework it to fit in with a 2020 summer colour palette. Instead of the calf-length Lola we have extended the Val boot to be a knee-high fit, we thought this would be a more popular choice! Of course, our knee-high boot is available in patent leather croc prints – what Terry de Havilland shoe wouldn’t? Three iconic shades are available: Val Snake in the Grass, Val Trippy Snake, Val White, a shade for everyone.
Our brand new silhouette makes a unique statement no matter which colourway you go for. Designed in faux snake leather creating an iconic Terry de Havilland statement relating to our brand ethos, 70’s influence and history. You can dance all day in our Val as the heel height is a comfortable 4.5 cm. The closed-toe boot creates a boot which can be worn in any weather, night or day. Especially if you’re planning an English summer, you have to be prepared for all weather types. Our boot is a wide fit so is flattering for every girl’s leg stopping just below the knee, finished with an easy zip fastening and leather lined for extra comfort. So which colourway will you choose?
Living up to the name we are going for a green snake print boot. Picture yourself with a white T-shirt dress on, green and white snake print knee-high Terry de Havilland boots, a beach and a cocktail in hand. This is the summer we all want this year. The Val Snake in the grass is for the brave Terry de Havilland girl, the girl that loves to stand out, be noticed and is looking forward to sipping cocktails in the sun in style. If your that girl, then you can buy your new boots here for only £375.
The Val Trippy Snake is not a boot you wear if you want to sneak in a club unseen. This summer you will party in style no matter what part of the world you are in. We are all waiting for the magic words that lockdown is over and coronavirus is in the distant past, and we all have that outfit planned eagerly waiting for those words too. The Val Trippy Snake is in that outfit plan. This boot doesn’t want to sit in your wardrobe and it certainly doesn’t want to sit on our office shelves, it can’t wait to join you on your summer adventures too! Pair the Val Trippy Snake with an all leather playsuit, a trench coat or vibrant shirt dress and colour clash for an even bolder aesthetic. It is up to you how you style this boot, you can make it the bold item in your outfit and tone down the rest of your look with a neutral colour palette, or you can go all out.
Are you our minimal Terry de Havilland girl? Not all our customers like to wear bold psychedelic patterns, you can stand out subtly in a minimal colour range. Minimalism is an on-trend style for 2020, why not pair our Val white boots with an oversized beige hoody as a dress. This style is the complete definition of effortless. Perfect for a shopping day, drinks with the girls or even a night out!
Summer is looking up and we have the perfect sandal for you to walk into June with. Our newest addition to our Spring /Summer 2020 is our Kitty Margaux. Different to our usual Terry de Havilland shoes, the Margaux is a flat sandal, not a platform heel. Similarly to the rest of our collection, keeping with the Terry de Havilland 70’s identity the sandal is in faux snakeskin available in black, gold and natural hues. Three neutral colourways which are easy to pair with the majority of your summer wardrobe.
The Kitty Margaux is for the Terry de Havilland girl who loves to explore a new city. Walking miles and still remaining on style. This sandal is beyond comfortable and effortlessly stylish whether you pair them with trousers, a mini skirt or a maxi dress on a beach.
The Sandal probably has the most history when it comes to shoes. In fact, summers favourite shoe has actually dated back to ancient times, so there have definitely been style variations over the years. From the gladiator-style to Jackie Onassis Capri design, slingbacks or 90’s platform sandals that the spice girls swore by, the sandal has certainly been reinvented in every form, shape and hue available.
One of the most ancient findings of the sandal and footwear as a whole was found in Fort Cave in Oregan. This dates back to over 10,000 years woven from sagebrush bark – certainly a different method to our patent leather Kitty Margaux. The sandal didn’t just stop at Oregan, it has an important part of history worldwide. From the Romans, the greeks, the Japenese – who wore a wooden board with a cloth, and the Indian Paduka which combined wood and metal to create the perfect sandal.
Our inspiration for the Kitty Margaux didn’t quite date back to 10,000 years ago. As always we look to the 70s to inspire us. Not everyone wore platforms 24/7 sometimes flats were essential, although when not in platform heels, clogs were also in fashion too. We took the silhouette of the 70’s platform wedge (Margaux) and lowered into a flat form. In true Terry de Havilland style, we have three colourways available natural snake, black and gold – three hues which combine 2020 trends and 70’s styling. You can shop our three Kitty Margaux’s below:
If you want to make a bold statement with your feet firmly flat on the ground then the Kitty Margaux in black is the colourway you need to go for. Designed in our iconic soft croc fabric, our Kitty Margaux is comfortable to wear all day long.
Feminine, luxurious and effortlessly stylish is our Kitty Margaux designed in rusty gold soft croc fabric. Perfect to wear for a day in the office, especially if you have after-work plans you want to look on-trend for.
Our iconic Terry de Havilland fabric is the natural faux snake leather. This colourway is represented through our collection and is one of our bestsellers. If you are looking for a sandal this summer that will go with every hue in your wardrobe then the natural tone is the shoe for you. Our open-toe sandal is comfortable as well as cool for summer heat, combined with a slightly raised heel, and iconic Terry de Havilland lightning bolt buckle fastening with ankle strap. 
Strut around all day in the classic Kitty Margaux
