women's slippers FLAPPER purple night vintage leather

FLAPPER purple night vintage leather

• These slippers are part of our range inspired by the Twenties, a period of exquisite style and innovation but also a key one for the social role of women. This style not only draws from those years some of its aesthetics but pays homage to "flappers", daring women who challenged the conventional societal roles of women. Flappers would listen to jazz, take the inititiative in dating, ride bikes and drive cars, drink and smoke....Their style was pioneered by Coco Chanel and it brought a revoloutionary sporty look next to the utmost feminine style.
   
• This version is in purple night vintage leather*.  This purple is very particular because it is deep and dark and with with just a hint of metallic light.
  A chain of rhinestones and greysh stones is mounted over a band of frayed wool wich creates an effect that recalls feathers, so popular in the Twenties. Lining and insole are in black nappa.
  *it is quality suede that undergoes the application of a super thin metallic lamina which is then buffed to achieve the look of vintage leather from the Twenties'. If you take a close exam you will notice that it looks as if it is all slightly cracked. The leather achieves an attractive smooth touch and is a pleasure to caress....

• Made on our LOMBARD last*  which is our most sexy last, cleverly designed to have a distictive pointy toe while maintaining the absolute comfort you expect from slippers.
  The name Lombard plays on a double meaning: it is Lombard because it was designed and made in Milano which is in Lombardy county and it is Lombard as an homage to the all time glamour of the diva Carole Lombard
  *a last is a foot shape around which shoes are made, its specific design determines the silhouette and look of the shoe
