Lido Sandals

New heels, new materials, new styles! Meet the Lido sandals, swinging in from the 1930s, 40s, and 50s. These faux suede sandals are open-sided with secure buckle straps, a soft vamp, and small peep toe, built on a new 2.5 inch Cuban heel.

The Lidos are patterned from an original in our archive and are made with a beautiful and very durable faux suede, just like the original shoes. Faux suede, rayon suede, and sueded fabric were used for clothing and accessories at least as far back as the late 1930s. With the original shoes in this material we thought we’d try it for this cute spring/summer sandal.

Lido is also offered in a metallic champagne leather option to pair with evening attire.


Ghillie Oxfords

For a traditional touch, try the adorable Ghillies, a practical lace-up in all leather with low heels, round toes, and two sets of laces to change up your look. Straight from the pages of Montgomery Ward 1943, the Ghillies are your new everyday shoe.

This design is very comfy and stable, and good for a wide fit with the structured, round toes. Inspired by traditional Scottish ghillie shoes, they’re a great all-rounder for all seasons.

Karolina Oxfords

Last but never least, a kaleidoscope of Karolinas bring that bright spark to summertime outfits. Green, blue, yellow, red, black, purple! Enjoy the soft suede and practical heel of these most elegant of 1930s style shoes by Karolina Zebrowka.

All of the new Karolina colorways were voted on by you guys, and what great taste you have! There’s something for everybody in this collection of six new Karolinas. 


We hope you like our first offering of 2023! It’s a cute little collection with some totally new things and a whole raft of colorful options.
