Ebony Edwardian Soutache Velvet Promenaders

*3 pairs sold, 2 pairs available*
A made to order limited edition design from The Recherché Collection. Only 5 further pairs in total will be made before the style is archived. Delivery is appoximately 8-10 weeks after ordering.

Lustrous ebony contemporary black silk viscose velvet with appliquéd antique Edwardian soutache lozenges and passementerie braid.

There is also the possibility of creating these in sizes 37-42 on our square toed lasts (please see the Grisaille design for images of that shape), just let us know in notes at checkout if you'd like prefer that option.

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

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 fabrics from stains, but it should be noted that these couture 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.

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 10 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.
