Has anyone heard of these shoe brands?

[bentrovato]

I just picked up a pair of Andrea Pierre boots and can't find a bit of information on them... Any ideas? They're a leather/suede slouchy combo and the only information on the inside is the recurring 'Andrea Pierre' printed on the upper lining and a Made in Canada stamp...

Also... a pair of brown/dark brown snakeskin kitten heels (hot!!) with the sole "Julia - for individual woman" (apparently no grammar major working here... but I'll forgive them ;) )

I've googled everything I can imagine... and just can't find anything on either of these brands... help! and THANK YOU

A lot of shoe brands are just made up names by marketing teams so that they look like a new trendy brand but they are actually made by an old, established firm with a fuddy duddy reputation. Also, sometimes a company that makes winter boots or children's shoes will try a fashion line and create a brand to see if it takes off. Sometimes it works for a year or two and then they pull it after a disappointing season. So don't be surprised if you find brands, especially those that sound like they are supposed to be a designer's name, that you can't find any info about. There is a good chance it was a brand sold through a fashion store for a season or two at most.
