Inspiration Notebook: Smoking Slipper Flats - The Feminine Slipper

Introducing: The Feminine Slipper, a ladylike take on the smoking slipper and one of three new styles from our Spring/Summer 2013 Custom Flats Collection. Whether it’s a fancy brunch, a garden party, or an afternoon wandering the art gallery, this modern-day smoking slipper was carefully designed with style and comfort in mind. We make every pair of Poppy Barley ballet flats to your exact foot length and foot width measurements, accommodating sizes 5-13, and widths A-EEE.

Colour block the heel in Peony and Metallic Gold leathers for something bright, light and summery, or mix a Metallic Gold and Black Python instead for some after-hours sizzle. Opt for something more casual with a full Robin Egg and fox head hardware in gold or silver; this your chance to design a flat that fits your lifestyle.

Picture this: sparkling mimosas, tea biscuits and bowls of fresh fruit line white linen tablecloths as guests arrive in their Sunday finest—from flowing pastel skirts to polished, printed trousers. A ladylike twist on a Roaring ‘20s menswear trend, the padded insole, soft leather upper, and subtle scallop emerging from a pointed toe (hailing from a traditional smoking slipper) allow for long hours of wear, and with the guaranteed perfect fit, your feet will be sure to thank you.
