I was going to throw these out but I thought decorating them might be better. Not sure if i'll venture outside with them but they will definitely become my new 'house' shoes.
I love, love, love. It's rare that a shoe will grab my attention like these but I will have to look around for a similar pair as $399 cannot be justified. They are made by German label Trippen.
The shoes on their site feature cool detailing without over embellishing and have a very German architectural feel - to me anyway. But I'm currently lusting away over either a pair of Fluevogs or Melissas and they're probably more in my price range than the Trippens. Oh well............ I can dream and be inspired in the meantime :)
Beautiful hand tooled leather brooches. I couldn't say what era they're from - I may hazard a guess and say the 70's - the butterfly is kind of reminiscent of folksy style and the craft revival.
I love textiles and am a designer and maker of homewares, accessories and clothing and anything that can be made with fabric, dressing, vintage, costume, making things, markets, op-shopping(thrifting), cooking, meeting people. I studied applied fashion design and technology at Tafe and worked briefly in the industry but realised that the fashion industry wasn't for me. I did learn some invaluable skills though which I can use when I sew and draft things...email me at boobookittyfark@gmail.com
