Ruby Slippers online boutique now live
02 May 2011

Introducing the UK's first online collection of ageing-in-place products and appliances

Ruby Slippers Solutions Ltd, the ageing-in-place specialists, today (2 May 2011) launched the UK’s first online collection of ageless design™ products for around the home.  

For the first time, people who want to live independently at home have access to a single source of kitchen and bathroom products and appliances that have been carefully selected for the quality of their design and functionality. These products range from side-opening ovens and the latest fridge drawers to toilets with integrated bidets and customised stairlifts, each one assessed as much for the support it provides as for the style and quality of its finish. 

Ruby Slippers specialises in adapting and enhancing homes for people who prefer to remain at home for as long as possible.  The Edinburgh-based business believes that with good design and well chosen products, people should be able to enjoy living in a beautiful, fully supportive home environment – something it refers to as ‘ageless design’. 

A key part of Ruby Slipper’s service is its ability to specify the very best products, sourced not just from the UK, but from countries better known for their more proactive approach to ageing-in-place.  Offering these products for sale online is an obvious next step for the company as it seeks to extend access to its service to customers outside Scotland: 

“With so much choice on the market today, from the mainstream brands through to the smaller, specialist suppliers, it can be difficult to know what to look out for and what to avoid,” explains Lisa McMyn, managing director, Ruby Slippers.

Now people can browse through our collection of carefully vetted products from the comfort of their home, talk to us about any product that interests them and make confident purchases, safe in the knowledge that we have already done all the research. They are buying products that they’ll enjoy using now and in the years ahead.”

The Ruby Slippers online boutique currently offers only a sample of the kitchen, bathroom and household products and appliances that the team specifies for its clients. If customers are unable to find a particular product they are looking for, the company offers a free personal consultation service to help them find the best products for their particular requirements.
