Pink Shoe with Green Feather Limoges Box

Pink and purple tones give this shoe a bold, party-ready look, and a green feather crowns it with a dash of drama. The shoe was brushed with color by hand in Limoges, France, as a porcelain Limoges box.

A Feather in Her Cap

A feather on a shoe has always signaled confidence, from the flapper era to the modern runway. The green plume against the pink and purple creates a lively color clash that reads as playful rather than fussy, perfect for someone who likes to make an entrance.

Plumes and Pastels

• Pink and purple shoe topped with a green feather
• Fits a shoe, fashion or Roaring Twenties grouping
• Pops beside black, gold and jewel tone shoe boxes

Strut Onto the Vanity

This makes a fun present for a friend who never shies away from color, a fashion student, a drag performer, or a birthday girl who loves a bit of theater. Set it on a dressing table among compacts and lipsticks, or on a closet shelf where it can liven up a line of plainer shoes. Collectors who group shoes by era sometimes place it with Jazz Age pieces for its flapper feel. Every feather is painted by hand, so the shade of green and the curve of the plume vary slightly from shoe to shoe.
