An LA’s The Place Top Pick for 2010!
Each season women are bombarded with a seemingly endless plethora of shoe styles to choose from, and we are told you can never have enough! In a fashion conscious culture where wearing the same item of clothing too many times is tantamount to style suicide, a cluttered closet becomes the often unavoidable cost of staying on top of the shoe game. And when traveling, having to bring so many different shoes take up much space in your luggage.
Priti Bhati and her husband Rishi tackled these problems and developed Plattoes – a highly customizable sandal concept allowing women to enjoy the versatility of hundreds, even thousands of looks at a fraction of the cost and taking up minimal space
The idea finds its strength in its simplicity – a sandal whose base can be matched with different ribbons to change its look. The Plattoes collection of flats, wedges and heels allow you to personalize your style, and each base comes with two complimentary ribbons.
The simplistic design of Plattoes sandals are not only beneficial in the aspect of space saving, but they are also an economical choice for women who want unlimited variety for a fraction of the price.
Plattoes are getting rave reviews from national media outlets like NBC’s Today Show to Internet message boards about shoes and fashion. Fashionista Bobby Thomas of the “Today Show” featured Plattoes this past June in her Buzz segment , ‘finding things that you don’t ever need another…
Not only are Plattoes a must for fashionistas who insist on customizable items and ever changing styles, but they are also a trend for those who are environmentally conscious about their clothing purchases.
Plattoes create very little waste and allow for less materials to be used for hundreds of different shoe possibilities. Women can rely on the extensive choice of ribbons created for Plattoes, or they can use their own fabric and ribbons for endless possibilities.
The Plattoes company offers several base sandal styles, including a heel, wedge and gladiator flat. The cost of one base sandal and several ribbons is under $100, and ribbons vary in price from five dollars for basic designs to eleven dollars for double sided choices. The Plattoes website contains a “How to Tie” tab that includes pictures which help those new to the world of the ribbon tie sandal learn innovative tying techniques.

Fans of the brand share ribbon typing tips and tricks (which include using plastic rings to lace the ribbons through, attaching jewels to the end of the ribbons, using braided fabrics and more) on social networking sites like Twitter, Facebook, MySpace and YouTube. Plattoes can currently be found in Chicago, Florida and online at the companies website where you can also purchase handmade jewelry adorned with Swarovksi crystals.
