[ my unusual hunt for TOMS ]
IT'S NO secret - I love TOMS. They are by far the most comfortable shoes I own. And so you can imagine my disappointment when I found out that no one in Dubai carries TOMS and I can't even get them shipped here from their website!
But I wasn't going to give up.
Before we left on our cruise, I knew that we'd be stopping in a few places, so I searched online for TOMS retailers and came upon one in Barcelona.
Perfect! We'd be starting and ending our trip from Barcelona so I'd pick them up there! I jotted down the address and Google mapped it.
On our first day in Barcelona, we decided to search for the TOMS retailer who would hook me up...
Hmm.... maybe I got the address wrong...
This was turning into the most unusual search...
And there it was in this tiny alley, surrounded by no other shops of any kind... Little PACO.
It was the tiniest store I've ever seen and totally devoted to TOMS...
Despite its size, I was able to find a few pairs and my guy picked up some too. This should keep me going until the next time I'm near a TOMS retailer.
I love that for every pair you buy, they give a pair of shoes to a child in need. And that means 5 pairs of shoes are on their way.
Do you love TOMS as much as I do?
