Ladies, it’s time. It’s February 1st. We promised you a pre-order and a pre-order you shall have!
We have four fresh new styles for you covering pretty much all of the 19th century (and a little of the 18th and a little of the 20th). The new pretties are…
 |
| Mansfield Regency Riding Boots in green leather trimmed with black |
 |
| Mansfield Regency Riding Boots in black leather |
Based on several original late 18th century riding boots, we’ve done our version in black leather and also a wonderful pine green with black trim. Mansfields are accurate for c. 1785 – 1805 and are on sale for $179 ($199).

| Eliza Early Victorian Shoes in brown (omg cute) |
 |
| Eliza Early Victorian Shoes in grey/black |
The cutest little early Victorian shoes you’ll ever see, the Eliza split-vamp “slipoxfords” (we just made that up) are the classic wool-and-leather style so popular from the 1830s-1860. We’ve used an adorable houndstooth check for the wool, seen on multiple extant examples, and paired it with deep leather foxing on the toe and heel, flat leather soles, and petersham laces. Elizas are available in brown and grey/black and are on sale for $125 ($145).

Softly-squared toes and 1.5 inch knock-on heels designed from originals, the Tissots are epic for the 1850s all the way through the mid-1880s. Tissots come in black or ivory and are on pre-order sale for $135 ($155).
