About this work
It was not unusual to have the same style of shoe made in different colours. This model was made in dark blue as well as white suede. The decoration, however, differs. The blue pair is trimmed with snakeskin, which also covers the heels; the white pair with patent leather. The date 1937 is written on the shoetrees of the white pumps.
