Pair of slippers of white kid leather, lined with white linen, bound with white silk ribbon, and with wider white silk ribbons (ends pinked) attached for ties.

Rounded toe; flat, straight sole. Shoe A has a point embossed down the instep, the leather on either side of the point deliberately stained dark. Both soles are ring-stamped.Collection
