This exquisite shoe design references   Marie Antoinette's bygone period, taking design inspiration from her lavish tea-time lifestyle and the sumptuous dessert dishes that adorned her royal gatherings. The shoes themselves are a visual treat, like an exquisite cake and decorated in inviting, pleasant hues.
Each stride taken in these shoes transports the wearer back in time and offers a glimpse of the world of sleek elegance that Marie Antoinette lived in. A majestic court's grandeur is brilliantly evoked by the elaborate craftsmanship and delicate pastel colours.
