Finally! Sarah Jessica Parker to Launch a Shoe Line

SJP fans and Sex and the City fans unite! The day we all secretly hoped and wished for has arrived: Sarah Jessica Parker announced she will be launching her own shoe line with partner George Malkemus, the longtime CEO at Manolo Blahnik. SJP, as it will appropriately be called, will be available exclusively at Nordstrom early next year. The SJP line will also include bags and a few trenches.

"In a silly way, I think it's what people have expected of me most because of Carrie Bradshaw," Sarah Jessica Parker told Vogue. "It's sort of soup to nuts," Parker continues. "You put on a shoe and you put on a coat and you wear a bag and, on the outside, when you're walking down the street, they really can tell the same story about yourself."

I am sure the last thing Parker needs herself is more shoes. But her ultimate goal is to offer something different both aesthetically and price wise. "We're putting new colors together that people don't typically do, just beautiful combinations that you wish existed in your closet," she says. "And in terms of bags, thinking about that period of the seventies into the eighties, what those women were carrying, taking away the bells and the whistles and hardware and really making it about the bag."

Single-sole pumps and flats retail from $200 to $300, and bags will likely sell for under $700. Everything will be produced in Europe and New York City (though production location for the trenches is still being decided).
