Whether you’re searching for the perfect shoe to pair with an Aesthetic-dress costume or you’re in need of a sleek and reliable shoe for your faire ensemble, the Artemisia Pre-Raphaelite Shoes are sure to be your favorite find. Designed in collaboration with artist and historian Elena Kanagy-Loux, Artemisia functions both as a Pre-Raphaelite, mid-late Victorian shoe or as a 14th-16th century Renaissance shoe. How’s that for time period versatility? Choose from rich colored suede derived directly from Pre-Raphaelite works of art, or try bold, fantasy-worthy opalescent leather for a truly show-stopping look. Named for the legendary Italian painter Artemisia Gentileschi, these shoes are wonderfully soft and flexible with soft leather or suede uppers and a smooth leather lining. Open sides form attractively around the foot, and the shaped tab closure laces with a complimentary petersham ribbon. Bedeck yours with decorative shoe clips or wear as-is. Practical, 0.5"/ 1.27 cm spring heels with sealed leather soles will keep you in style for miles.
