How fabulous! I have several shoes that look very similar to the ones you've posted, it's great to know that you can find vintage-y styles in regular stores! ^^

ReplyDeleteOh! Please, please re-create those brown and white spectator oxfords from the London College of Fashion!! So very cool and classy. I love the little sun burst details. :)

Aren't those just *divine* ? I have such a soft spot for spectators, especially brown/white.
DeleteThey're adorable!
ReplyDeleteAlso, this reminds me of a shoe post here a few years ago where I left an anonymous comment offering to send you pictures of 2 pairs of shoes formerly owned by Grandmother. You replied saying that you would love to see them and to post them on Facebook. Since I am not on Facebook I could not do that.
Now it's going to bug me, I should do a post on them.
They have the same general silhouette as these ones but the design details are very different.
Oh yes, please, I still want to see them!
DeleteI love those with the same colour/material combination as your Claremonts... because I love that combination on the Claremonts. That dark dark brown velvetiness. Reminds me of my mother for some reason. :D
ReplyDeleteAnd speaking of showing vintage shoes, I'm not sure if you've seen these I saw in a thrift shop some time ago:

Now that I compare them to these, and what I've seen elsewhere and heard about private artisans in Brno, I think they're newer than 1930s; but probably not by much.
I love all of these!
