A License to be Poetic

In a sea of brown and black, Poetic License is the breath stroke bringing new life back to dead footwear.  Every shoe a poem, a lyric, a love story. 

She feels as beautiful on your foot as she looks in pictures.  Available in our retail location (Lorla’s in Northville, MI) www.lorlas.com or on our Estore www.shoplorlas.com.

Get a cup of tea and a scone, cross your legs and stop traffic!  Poetic License.

Soles4Souls Shoe Drive

With just a few more hours left to our 3rd Shoe Drive, we are feeling more and more the need to spread the word about Soles4Souls. 

S4S is an organization started during Katrina to shoe victims of natural disaster.  Our partnership with this very worthy organization makes perfect sense.  You bring in the shoes and we ship them out.  But, there’s more.  We have awesome partners in this effort that contribute after you drop off your shoes. 

Special thanks go to:

Allison Long at Northville Storage: Allison donaetd a storage facility for shoes until we have enough to ship in major shipments to S4S.  Allison and the Long family did not hesitate in assisting us.  We cannot thank you enough for your generosity and commitment to serving those less fortunate than ourselves!

Mike at Northville UPS Store:  Mike has donated all the boxes that we pack our shoes in (so we don’t look like the Beverly Hillbillies every time we ship).  Mike, Barb and the gang down at Northville UPS are always willing to help and are great supporters of Northville businesses. 


Thomas Tappe of Conway Shipping:  Mr. Tappe and the group at Conway Shipping have been instrumenal in fulfilling our commitment to S4S.  Without them, we would not be able to ship the donated shoes.  Did you know we have shipped nearly 1600 pairs of shoes so far and each shipment (two pallets ea.) have cost well over $1200 ea.  THANK YOU for your generous heart Mr. Tappe.  

To all of our special sponsors and customers that donate:  Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.  You are truly CHANGING THE WORLD ONE SHOE AT A TIME!

Remember:  We are a National Drop off place for S4S so you can drop your shoes off anytime.  However, our Shoe Drives happen several times a year and you should watch our website or submit your email address to us (to be added to our mailing list) at details@comcast.net.  During Shoe Drives you are given big discounts on donated shoes.

May 15 - 25% off all full priced items w/donation
May 16 - 20% off all full priced items w/donation
May 17 - 15% off all full priced items w/donation
