Absolutely exquisite 1928-1929 evening sandals by André Perugia. These amazing shoes feature cast metal heels and open backs, a feature that did not enter mainstream fashion until the mid-1930s.

Very interesting!

  • Slippers, 1805–1815
The extremely short vamp and rounded toe  are particularly notable characteristics of this date.  The heel was  becoming vestigial in the first quarter of the century, and although low  by modern standards, the variety seen here was one of the higher types  produced at the time.
