Red faille shoes
Red faille shoes with round toes and high heels. They have a cut-out feature on the toes with gold straps and a separate red strap around the instep. A T-bar and ankle strap with a button, fasten the shoes. Hand sewn at F. Pinet, Paris, a shoemaker from 1855.
Mary Jane pump shoe The most remarkable thing about women’s shoe history in the 1920s was that they were visible! With dresses getting shorter and ankles now exposed, shoes entered the spotlight. Now shoes were seen and admired, and matched to not only the style of the garment but also to the season too. This caused clothing designers to make new clothes with shoes in mind and often they became shoe designers as well. The Mary Jane pump, with one or several straps or a ‘T’ bar, an almond shaped toe and modest 5cm “Louis” heel were the most popular shoes of the twenties.
