Wish It Was Silk Shoe Sunday💛
These yellow silk satin formal shoes ca.1830-35 are from the V&A Collection. I love the cheerful colour of them.
Physical description from the V&A website:
"Pair of heel-less shoes of yellow silk satin with a shallow square toe rounded at the sides. Trimmed with a ribbon bow. Lined with kid leather and the name of the owner is inscribed on the inside. The shoes have a linen insole and leather sole."
