PATENTLY PRISSY

This week I finished my first proper pair of courts, these being little ballet style flats. As a change to my usual aesthetic, I decided to make these a bit "prettier", hence the bow :)

They're made of all leather aside from the sole which is resin, with the upper being a patent leather. Patent, due to the plastic coating is significantly harder to last (wrap around and form the shape of the shoe), so you can kind of see around the toe slight slight creases where I couldn't pull hard enough and stretch it to get them out. Another lesson learnt I say.
