What an event!

October is moving along at a quick pace, and The Little Shoebox hasn't skipped a beat! We had a fabulous lecture and luncheon event with Bettye Muller and Alexandra Deutsch (curator of The Maryland Historical Society), on Friday the 14th of this month.

The vintage shoes that Alexandra brought from the Maryland Historical Society's collection were amazing! Such delicate silks, satins and lace. What we found interesting, (but already knew), was the influence from the past into the present with shoe designs. Many of the shoes from the late 17th century and 18th century, could be compared with designs of today in the look of the heels as well as the toe boxes. Embellishments such as ribbons, laces, grommets and bows were as influential in the shoe designs of early days as they are today...and we have them at The Little Shoebox!

It was very gratifying to hear the questions and comments from those in attendance, as they engaged in discussion with Bettye Muller. She has certainly been one of our favorite designers, but it was apparent she captivated the audience as well!

Most of our Fall Collection is in the store and up on the website, so come in or check us out at thelittleshoeboxonline.com. We have a few more styles to arrive, but we are stocked and ready to meet your shoe and boot needs! Happily, we have been very busy lately, and lots of Little Shoebox bags have been going out the door...looks like we are going to see some well dressed ladies out and about this season!  As always, we are very appreciative of your loyalty and support!!!
