Last week’s CliqueShop deal was lots of fun, so I thought I’d try week number two. If enough Design Mom Readers are interested in the deal, then it happens. If there’s not enough interest, then the deal is off. This time, I have something for all you lovely ladies:
For the second deal, I’m featuring Sseko Sandals. These gorgeous sandals come with interchangeable straps and sturdy soles. They’re made by young women in Uganda — high school graduates that are saving up college. Such a neat company! And the shoes really are lovely. I’ve been sporting my pair all summer long and I get compliments every single time I wear them. I mean it. See lots of great photos here.
THE DEAL:
Get any pair of Sseko Sandals for $20.
That’s over 50% off. What a bargain! If you’d like to get in on this deal, go here and click “buy”. If at least 50 Design Mom Readers want the bargain, the deal will go through. Awesome!
Some info about CliqueShop: CliqueShop was started by two of my brothers. Their idea is to bring group buying directly to blog communities. I’m helping them experiment with it now, but they plan to open it to other blogs as soon as they can. If you’re interested in hosting a CliqueShop or have a deal you’d like to offer, you can contact CliqueShop here.
If you love it, you can find out about the next deal — even before I announce it — by subscribing here.

Done.
Oh oh oh oh! I’m so excited! I’ve been wanting a pair since… well, a long time ago. Who can resist at this price? Thanks!
I love my Ssekos! Too bad I missed this deal. Even so, I think I’ve gotten my money’s worth out of them during the past few months since I got mine.
can you explain how this works to me. Does my paypal not get charged unless the 50 readers have purchased them?
thank you!
Hi Addy,
Thank you for the question. Ideally that is how the system would work. However, our checkout system is still being developed so you are charged and if the deal fails to tip then you are fully refunded.
Once we have modified our checkout system I will let everyone know.
What an awesome product, and an awesome cause. I’m in!
Oh! I have wanted these FOREVER. Thanks for giving me just the right excuse to get them. =D
Oh I am so bummed out to have missed this deal while I was out all day and away from my computer! Drat!! It must have gone quickly.
Gabrielle,
I am so excited I have had these on my “want” list forever. One question since you already have a pair. Are they true to size or would you go a bit bigger or a bit smaller if I am a half size?
Thanks
Oh my word!!! How in the world did that many already sell out? I’m SO super bummed….I WANTED those shoes so much…think you could do this deal again sometime????
I agree! I would have loved to participate in this great deal! They must have sold out in record time!
I hope you can do this item again!
xoxo
Hi Gabrielle,
I payed for the sandals as part of the deal last night, with my pay pal. I have a receipt for the pay pal purchase, but it says that I didn’t order them. I can’t figure out how to contact the company directly, so thought I may try though you. Does it take awhile to show up? In my pay pal it says the $20 was paid. thanks!
Bummed to say I missed out on this deal too. Would love for you to offer it again!
I’ve had my eye on some Sseko’s for over a year now, just waiting for an awesome deal!
Bummer! It’s over already!! Do it again, do it again!
oh sad I miss it! I love Sseko design! I’m hoping to meet them when they take the road trip to California!
I agree! Can we do that one again? Pretty please!
Ditto I am SO sad I missed out on this I was really wanting a pair since I looked into the company a few weeks ago. I have totally worn out my sandals from the poet sandal maker I bought when I was in greece and would have loved a new pair. *sigh* and double *sigh*
Dang! 150 was not enough!
I feel like they should send out an email when the deal’s a go, and warn you that it might sell out. I missed them too. :-/
Great suggestion Elisabeth. We’ll try to build this into the system.
I ordered a pair, and received a confirmation email that my payment went through, but then never got a coupon code? I tried to contact whoever got my payment, and posting a comment on the cliqueshop page where the deal was but no answer…I’m not sure what to do?
ohhi wish i wouldve seen this sooner!
what a great idea – I’m sorry I missed it
Dratts!!! I missed them too! they look so funky. Will you be doing it again???
Hey, ordered my pair but for so
E reason i necer got yhe coupon code emailed to me but when I log on the the cliqueshop site I have one. But doesn’t work when I try to check out. Looks like others have had trouble too. :(
I’ve had the same trouble as others trying to order. I have what appear to be two coupon codes on Cliqueshop (one is just the first half of the other) but neither appear to work to check out. Halp! :)
Hi All,
Unfortunately, our checkout system did not work properly for 10-20 of the purchases made on this deal. If you paid, but your Cliqueshop account is saying you have not paid. Please contact me at salemstanley@gmail.com.

Mmmm. I want these, and they are a great price, but not right now. So I won’t be clicking.
I paid and I got a following coupon code
It doesn’t work on the Sseko website. Also the contact page for Cliqueshop has not contact info! This is very frustrating (is it even legal for a shopping site to have no contact info)
My coupon code does not work on the website either, seems like cliqueshop has a few bugs to work out!
