For Colette

Description

Balance payment on custom order for Colette, the Pompadour lounger, created from a small fragment of early 1800s French block printed cotton as shown.

Pretty tones of pale and deeper rose pinks and ivory with a delicate design of floral sprigs and scrolling ribbons. 

 

Embellished with loops of slightly timeworn block printed cotton floral border from the late 1700s/early 1800s, stiffened and darned. Finished with antique French wired dusty blue silk passementerie rosettes. 

The fabric is mounted on a soft suede inner lining. Sole and 1cm block heel are man-made.

The ingredients Please be aware that these shoes are created from antique textiles, which have often had a previous life extending back centuries, so consequently there may be the odd minor smudge or tiny pin prick to the surface of the fabric. These in no way impinge on their beauty, and you can be sure that they do not compromise the integrity of the material. Any little area of actual damage or thinning is repaired with a tiny embroidered patch (one of my favourite features!), and this is always clearly mentioned in the description.  

The textile has been treated with an eco-friendly stain guard, based on nano-technology, (and containing absolutely none of those hideous PFOAs that have been slowly poisoning the environment over the last 70 years) which will help to protect the surface of the textile, but it should be noted that these antique materials need to be respected and treated with care.

IMPORTANT: Please be sure to read both our shipping and refund policy pages before placing an order (links to both at foot of page). By placing an order you are indicating you have read and accepted these terms.

Love these shoes but they are sadly not your size? Whilst no two pairs are ever  identical, it is often possible to create something with a similar look in your size....please do get in touch if you would like to discuss this option...

Vegan options? Yes we can substitute the leather lining for a vegan friendly alternative, and can also ensure that vintage cotton and linen passementerie and ribbon are used rather than the antique silk fringes. Just get in touch to discuss further... 

Sustainability Every time a pair of shoes is purchased a donation is made via Ecologi to both offset the carbon involved in production and shipping and make a positive net contribution to combatting climate change....that's 15 trees planted per pair.

Packaging Each pair of shoes is nestled in a high quality presentation box made from 92% recycled materials which can be wholly recycled at end of life (once ribbon and magnetic closure have been removed and recycled separately). Essential as recycling is, it is not carbon neutral, so I wanted the boxes to have as long an after-life as possible. The sturdy construction and minimal branding make them really attractive keepsake and storage boxes that hopefully will prove useful for many years to come. The lid is handstamped with our beautiful calligraphy logo, and zig-zag shred (made from non-coated recyclable bio-degradable paper) is used for the protective padding.
