Start with the part that decides everything else: every Rettrose pair at Stylera is one or two units. Not one or two per size — one or two pairs, full stop. Hand-embellished footwear is slow to make, and the run lengths reflect that. If a pair is showing your size, you are looking at the last of it, and hesitating for a week is usually the same as deciding against it.
With that said, here is what the label makes, split by heel height and by the function you are actually dressing for during the November–February wedding season.
What Rettrose makes
Hand-embellished occasion footwear for women, across four shapes: heels, wedges, flats and slides, plus a single embellished trainer. Prices run from ₹1,400 to ₹4,770, which is a wide spread for one small label, and the spread tracks almost exactly with how much embellishment work each pair carries.
The whole range lives in the Rettrose collection, and because stock is one or two pairs per style, what is there today is genuinely different from what was there last month.
The heels: ₹3,285 to ₹3,465
Five embellished heels, all priced within ₹200 of each other, so you are choosing on look rather than budget.
- The Mystic Lavender Heel — ₹3,285
- The Golden Vine Hand Embellished Heel — ₹3,359
- The Maribelle Crimson Heel — ₹3,359
- The Moonpetal Grace Heel — ₹3,415
- The Sunlit Bloom Heel — ₹3,465
Maribelle Crimson is the one that reads traditional against red and gold. Golden Vine is the safest with heavy embroidery, because gold repeats what is already happening on the outfit rather than adding a new colour. Mystic Lavender and Moonpetal Grace suit pastel lehengas and sarees where you want the shoe to stay quiet. Sunlit Bloom is the daytime pick of the five.
Heels are the right call for a reception, a cocktail evening, or any function where you are seated for large parts of it and photographed for the rest. They are the wrong call for a night you intend to dance through — which brings us to the more useful part of the range.
The wedges: ₹3,210 and ₹3,220
Two options, priced almost identically: The Delilah Hand Embellished Wedge at ₹3,210 and The Leilani Hand Embellished Wedge at ₹3,220.
A wedge gives you the height of a heel with a continuous sole underneath, so your weight spreads across the whole foot instead of concentrating on a narrow point. On a lawn, on a marquee floor, on the uneven ground outside most banquet halls, that difference is the whole argument. If you want height for a sangeet and you plan to actually dance, buy the wedge, not the heel. Both are limited to one or two pairs.
The flats: ₹1,400 to ₹1,850
The most wearable tier, and the most affordable.
- The Luna Grace Pearl Black Flats — ₹1,400
- The Starlit Butterfly Grey Flats — ₹1,700
- The Fleur Dusk Floral Grey Flats — ₹1,850
Flats are what you want for a mehendi, a haldi, a temple visit, or any function where shoes come off at the door — pearl black and grey are easy to spot again in a pile of forty pairs, which sounds trivial until it happens to you. They are also the sensible second pair to carry in a bag for the back half of a long evening.
Luna Grace Pearl Black at ₹1,400 is the cheapest entry to the label and the one that goes with the widest range of outfits.
The slides and the trainer
The Giana Black Cross Over Slides at ₹1,600 are the easiest thing here to wear — an embellished cross-over slide that works for a daytime function, a family lunch, or a mehendi where you are seated for hours with one hand out of action and no interest in buckles.
At the other end sits The Cassiana Gilded Prism Embellished Trainer at ₹4,770, the most expensive pair Rettrose makes and the only trainer. It is the answer to a specific problem: a function with a long day, a lot of walking, and an outfit you do not want to undercut with plain sneakers. One or two pairs only, like everything else.
Flats versus heels: the honest advice
Most people buy the heel and regret it around the third hour. A few rules that hold up:
- Dancing function? Wedge or flat. A sangeet is four hours on your feet on a hard floor.
- Seated function, heavy photography? Heel. Reception, cocktail, engagement.
- Shoes off at the door? Flats or slides — anything with a strap you must fasten becomes a nuisance.
- Outdoor, grass or gravel? Wedge every time. A narrow heel sinks.
- Long day, lots of walking? The trainer, or flats plus a change of shoes in your bag.
One more: buy the shoe before you finalise the outfit, not after. With one or two pairs per style, the shoe is the scarce half of the equation and the outfit is not.
How to pair Rettrose with an outfit
If the outfit is heavily worked — embroidery, sequins, zardosi — pick the quietest shoe that still has some shine. Golden Vine or the pearl black flats. If the outfit is plain, the shoe becomes the detail and you can go to Sunlit Bloom or the Cassiana trainer.
Match the metal, not the colour. Gold embellishment with gold jewellery, silver with silver. It is a far more reliable rule than trying to match a shade of pink across two different fabrics.

FAQ
Is Rettrose stock really only one or two pairs?
Yes. Every style in the range is stocked at one or two pairs, and hand-embellished pairs are not restocked identically. Treat anything showing your size as the last of it.
What is the most comfortable Rettrose option for an all-night function?
The wedges — Delilah at ₹3,210 or Leilani at ₹3,220. A wedge spreads your weight across the whole sole instead of a narrow heel point, which matters most on hard floors and outdoor ground. Flats are the next best answer.
Which pair works for a mehendi or a temple visit?
Flats or the slides. The Luna Grace Pearl Black Flats at ₹1,400 and The Giana Black Cross Over Slides at ₹1,600 both slip on and off easily, which matters when shoes come off at the door.
What is the cheapest way into the label?
The Luna Grace Pearl Black Flats at ₹1,400, then the Giana slides at ₹1,600 and the Starlit Butterfly Grey Flats at ₹1,700. The embellished heels and wedges start above ₹3,200.
