Behind every great retro shoe is a fabulous original vintage shoe (or lots of them).
We have *a lot* of original vintage and antique shoes in our ever-growing archive. We use these for inspiration, to study, and to take molds and patterns from. In addition, we draw inspiration from old magazine and catalog ads, antique footwear in museum collections, and old movies.

"Downton Abbey" used a great many original shoes in production, like the gold pair Lady Rose is sporting here. These inspired our "Roxy" directly, couldn't you tell? |
This Spring's new collection, the Deco Darlings, combine many elements of beautiful vintage footwear. Our goal was to create three styles for Summer to take a girl through a whole day and evening - sporty oxfords for active style, a solid mary jane for tea time, and a flashy metallic shoe for evening glamour.
Another goal of the Deco Darlings collection was to create totally unique designs with our Royal Vintage flair for the accurate. There were *so many* incredible designs in the '20s and '30s with bright colors, extravagant fabrics, and glitzy heels. There were also myriad plain and practical shoes - black, brown, ivory, rinse, repeat. We've tried to strike a balance between the glam and the go-to with something for everyone in unexpected yet classic, historical colorways.
We're very proud of the new girls, and we hope you like them too!
