SHOES

Paper, fabric and wire are moulded together to comprise little shoes that come as a pair, wrapped and sealed within a box. These special keep sakes make perfect gifts for christenings or birthdays.

Hand stitch is used to construct and decorate these tiny shoes, made from paper, netting, lace and cotton. Buttons and stamps add a touch of charm to these fragile pieces that can be placed upon the shelf, windowsill or even next to shoes meant for wearing. Different materials and techniques of hand stitch make each pair of shoes individual. Customised requests are always welcome too. The concept of the little shoes was influenced by the christening gowns that were also made from fragments of old paper and fabric. The unknown history of old clothes and personal belongings allures the imagination and creates a romantic perception of a time that has passed. The shoes continue from the theme of the dresses and are designed purely for decoration within the home.
