And so starts a whole new year...of shoes! I have so many plans for 2014. Some will happen, some may not, but I'm looking at the year's developments with optimism and excitement. Want a sneak peek? Here's what on the boil...
In Production or Just FinishedRedevelopments for 2014 - New and Improved |
| "Georgiana" - it's been years since we've had the dyeable 18th c. satin shoes. The new Georgies have the Kensington shape, leather soles and lining, and improved fit. |
 |
| "Pompadour" in Black - following Pomps in ivory, the new black Pompadours have a revised toe shape, swankier fabric, and the lovely, historically accurate white rand. |
 |
| "Pemberley" - the 1790s staple returns with a pointier toe, higher vamp, and revised Italian heel shape. |
Shiny New Styles for 2014 |
| "Gettysburg" - side-lacing, leather and wool, foxed booties with square toes. These are adorable on, and work for the 1830s through 1860s. |
 |
| "Tissot" - the square-toed, low-heeled, dyeable satin staple of the Civil War ballroom. |
 |
| "Nankeen" - Regency fabric boots with soft toes and leather soles. |
 |
| "Savoy" - heavily beaded Edwardian pumps with cutouts, and a low, comfortable French heel. |
Wait, is that all?You may have a favorite you know is in development, but you don't see here. Don't worry - some are not ready for photos to be shown yet. Here's what else is pending...
- "Madison" 18th century leather shoes
- "Renoir" button boots - 1860s through 1880s
- "Abigail" Signature Collection shoe based on Abigail Adams' yellow Regency slippers
We will also re-stock styles currently in the shop, and may add a new colorway here or there.
Now, of course, the difficulty is in deciding which style to do when! (I'm hoping you all can help me with that - look for polls and surveys to come)
