Selvedge Winter Fair: shoes that made me swoon by Caroline Groves

Caroline Groves makes bespoke shoes - it was love at first sight when I saw these vintage styles.  Shoes made to fit my awkward high instep, out of beautiful leather, in an elegant style that would make my feet look dainty: my idea of heaven.  The commissioning process takes several weeks. Caroline makes a bespoke wooden last for your foot on which your shoe is crafted, from leathers which you choose: anything from simple calf leather to exotic crocodile.
As you would expect for a work of art, these shoes cost ££££. 

Selvedge Winter Fair in Chelsea Town Hall

The Selvedge Winter Fair, held in Chelsea Town Hall earlier this month, had some fantastic designer-makers - pics coming up in the next posts. But first of all feast your eyes on the hall itself.
