Description: | The slippers are of sky-blue, hand tooled goatskin with natural, silk screen printed pigskin linings. The slippers have a cemented construction, with natural leather soles and heels. The uppers depict the Zodiac sign of Taurus among the stars. The lining print is collaged from 15th Century manuscripts on astrology. The shoes, which are size 5, were designed in 1990 and made in 1991. 'Handmade in England' is stamped inside them.
