Women's textile house slippers (pantuflas), ecru with brown trimEntry/Object ID
2025.1.340Description
Pair of flat, backless women's house slippers (mule type). Uppers are a pale ecru/beige plain-woven textile (cotton drill or light canvas) finished with a dark-brown whip-stitched/crocheted cord trim. Footbeds are lined in the same ecru textile. The undersides (not visible in this view) are rubber soles. The left slipper's footbed carries a boxed size stamp and a multi-line ink stamp; the right carries a partial boxed size stamp. The two slippers match in material, construction, and trim and read as an original pair.Use
