Description

Pair of lady's wool spats in a deep purple/burgundy/magenta colorway. Ready-to-wear. Entirely machine-stitched with internal seams finished with machine braided tape. Unlined. Six machine buttonholes correspond to six black celluloid buttons on either router side. Strap of wool travels under foot to a metal buckle on each spat. Black enamel on metal buckles is chipping off, as it is on buttons. Thread is slightly brighter magenta. Wool is stained in some spots, and black enamel is chipping off buttons and buckles in spots. Structurally sound.
