Etsy Sunday - LesFrivolites
Now here’s something you don’t see very often. Gaiterettes! These are handmade by LesFrivolites from Quebec.
Here’s what the designer has to say about them:
This pair of Gaiterettes or shoe embellishelent is inspired from a fancy antique pair of victorian boots. As a victorian boots collector, I found this alternative to have the victorian look without causing damage to my collection. Its an easy way to totally change the look of your favorite pair of summer shoes. Be creative and try them with a colored pair of stockings! They are made of black leather with a wax finish, lined leather. The open pattern let s show your leg. The 2 metal shank buttons are functional.The buttons imitated a greek silver coin aged.An elastic under the shoe hold the gaiterettes.
What a great way to dress up a pair of plain black pumps!
