REMEMBER REMEMBER THE 5th OF NOVEMBER

It’s that time of year again - whether you’re celebrating from a cosy pub, muddy field or your own back garden- stay warm and stylish with Ruby + Ed this coming bonfire night. - We can't wait! 

This season has been all about touchable textures, fuzzy furs and deep hues. We have the perfect collection to make sure you stand out from the crowd. Get ready to sparkle in these firework friendly looks- you won’t regret it and we will ensure you stay warm from head to toe!

Why not try one of our knit beanies paired with a matching muff for a casual take? We love this Forest coyote and muff combination below. 

What about a matching hat/scarf? This Mink neck warmer and Cossack hat give a real essence of class- but they'll make sure to keep you cosy. 

Parkas have been a real investment piece this season as they are extremely versatile. Ruby+Ed's take on this style includes a luxurious faux fur hood and lining, what more could you want? Pair with a beanie or cossack hat to complete the look and pick from putty, olive or bark. 

Add a real pop of colour with our BritCandy collection. This Britcandy scarf in burgundy is the ultimate fashion statement but can be worn in a variety of ways- scooped over the shoulder, wrapped round our neck.. find your favourite way.

 If it isn't as cold as you expected, throw on our Bear fur jacket over a pair of jeans and a t-shirt.

 These Ebony fox arm warmers are perfect for all those sparklers, they look so cute too! 

Don't forget our large selection of mittens and gloves to make sure your fingers don't get burnt, these husky mittens look great on and come in three different styles. 

If you're still stuck for ideas, look at the bonfire essentials page on our website for some more inspiration. 

Whether you're staying in with your slippers, or venturing out we all hope you have a lovely bonfire night, and make sure you stay safe!

NO TRICKS, JUST TREATS!

Start your week with a scare. It’s that spooky time of year again, just five days until the witches and ghosts come back out to play…we’re getting seriously pump(kin)ed for Halloween!! (Excuse the terrible pun!)

To get you in the mood for the week to come, we’ve created a competition with the chance to win our lovely Ebony Fox fur headband or our Men’s Charcoal & Ink knit scarf. All you have to do is guess what the picture is. Enter here.

Go on, we dare you….

Here at Ruby + Ed we thought we’d offer you some hints and tips for how to make this Friday scarily good, including costume ideas, crafty creations and ghoulish gourmet treats.

In the meantime try out these great tricks to get organised and keep you and the kids entertained for this Friday.

What to wear…

If you aren’t feeling too adventurous this year then why not opt for the classic black cat? We really like this makeup idea, so simple and easy, so no excuses!

The Jet fur hooded coat is the perfect cover up if you’re heading into the cold for this look, whilst our Bronze whiskers ballerina will keep your toes cosy if you’re staying in or heading to a party nearby. 

Crafty Creations

Don’t you think these ideas are great? Grab a marker pen to decorate some balloons, make your own spider webs, or create a Harry Potter themed party with this creepy spider trail… 

Ghoulish Gourmet

We are loving these Oreo spiders and witches hats, they certainly look fun to make and if you’re having a party will be sure to impress and spook your guests!

Whatever you choose to do this Halloween, have fun, and wrap up warm!

We’ll be announcing the winners of our competition next week, make sure to look out on social media to see if you've won! Good luck!!

SWAP YOUR STILETTOS FOR SLIPPERS

As the days slowly become shorter, darker and colder (brr) the Ruby+Ed team have swapped their stilettos for slippers. This week we’re all looking forward to staying cosy at home on the weekend.

Snuggling up on the sofa with a hot chocolate and hot water bottle (can’t wait!) is all we want to do when it’s so miserable outside. It also helps save up for all those Christmas gifts.

We will look ahead to a weekend of lounging in our slippers (in my case- the thistle velvet bow ballerinas!) to watch the X factor. There are a few clear favourites in the office from this year’s candidates. Saj our marketing coordinator and myself are routing for Lauren, her cover of happy was amazing! Whilst, Laura our project manager is backing Jake! I can tell this is going to get competitive...

The Apprentice on Tuesday- very excited that it’s back! What do you think of the new candidates? We all liked team Tenacity’s idea of a jacket that charges your phone- not sure about the solar panel shoulder pads though!

And of course, our favourite, ‘Made in Chelsea’ is back!! Did you see the lovely Billie (from MIC: NY) wearing our gorgeous Husky fur jacket recently?! 

Don’t worry, if you have made plans to go out, get your husky fur jacket like Billie's or choose from our large range of furry coats. 

And don’t miss our recent offer: Get 25% off our top ten buys.To redeem this, make sure you use TOPTEN14 at the checkout!

We hope you have a lovely weekend, it’s Friday tomorrow!!

A brief overview...

The Ruby+Ed Story

‘Coming from generations of British shoemakers, including her great granddads company CH, Preston, Isabel, Ruby+Ed’s co-founder grew up surrounded by shoes….after marrying Neil a chemistry graduate and fellow shoe lover they decided to throw caution to the wind and create their own business importing footwear.. Neil was certain there was a place in the world for their beautifully designed and hand crafted slippers’

 And the story of Ruby+Ed begins…

Product info

We have three different sections for your reference looking at how we source and create our beautiful faux fur, shape our slippers and develop our stunning range from start to finish. 

Did you know…?

Isabel and Neil have been designing footwear for over 40 years.

Each pair of slippers take over 3 hours to manufacture. Not only this, but we are the only brand that design and develop such a comprehensive collection of new individually designed slippers every season.

We use a higher grade of material for our faux fur, meaning that our faux fur coats are built to last and are denser for greater cosiness! We pride ourselves on high quality and are very proud to now be sold in premium retailers across the world.

Get to know us better

Our offices are based in lovely converted stables at Burrough Court on the outskirts of Melton Mowbray (we are very lucky to be surrounded by the beautiful countryside!).

Take a look at the ‘meet the team’ section to get to know a little bit about us all. You will probably be surprised to see how small our team is!

Head over to the page, take a look and let us know what you think!
