Florence 8 Box Stand

Here’s how I always think about it. Heidi x

If your space is bright, clean and neutral, Nougat adds just the right amount of warmth.

If you already style with bold or colourful pieces, Off-White or Black will balance spaces beautifully.

If you’re leaning into moodier tones, Olive is a rich, gorgeous match, especially with the Black Frame.

Still can’t decide? Choose the colour that feels most at home with your favourite chair or artwork. The best design choices always feel personal.

Start with where it will live in your home.

If you have the space, choose the New York 20-Box Stand. I’ve never met anyone who hasn’t filled it.

The Shanghai 14-Box Stand is perfect for entries, hallways, bedrooms.

The Florence 8-Box Stand is the perfect blend of side table and storage.

As a guide, I usually tell people the Milan Shoe Box fits up to around a men’s size 9 shoe.

That said, my partner is a size 10 and most of his loafers and dress shoes fit easily. Anything with a chunky sole or wider profile might struggle a little.

A friend also keeps her women’s size 37 RM Williams Adelaide Boots in a Milan Box, they are a little worn in, just as a note.

The easiest way to check is with an A4 piece of paper. The Milan Box is roughly A4-sized, so if your shoes sit within the edges of an A4 page, they should be fine. If they go well over the edge, they may be better suited to our Miami Storage Box.

Our Boxes are made from recycled hard card because I wanted a more considered alternative to plastic storage.

Plastic tubs can trap moisture, which isn’t ideal for shoes, leather, suede or the pieces you’re trying to protect. Paper-based materials allow for better airflow around your treasures, while still giving them a structured, beautiful place to live.

They’re designed to help protect and organise your pieces, without sealing them away in plastic.

Absolutely. I’ve had most of mine for over six years and use them every day.

They’re made from a dense, hard-card structure that holds its shape over time. My five-year-old has used them as stepping stones, and they’ve handled it, although I wouldn’t recommend jumping on them.

Like any considered material, they just need a bit of care. They shouldn’t be exposed to water, and like a beautiful book or artwork, they can fade over time if left in direct sunlight.
