Ladies, it's time. It's February 1st. We promised you a pre-order and a pre-order you shall have!
We have four fresh new styles for you covering pretty much all of the 19th century (and a little of the 18th and a little of the 20th). The new pretties are...

| Eliza Early Victorian Shoes in brown (omg cute) |
 |
| Eliza Early Victorian Shoes in grey/black |
The cutest little early Victorian shoes you'll ever see, the Eliza split-vamp "slipoxfords" (we just made that up) are the classic wool-and-leather style so popular from the 1830s-1860. We've used an adorable houndstooth check for the wool, seen on multiple extant examples, and paired it with deep leather foxing on the toe and heel, flat leather soles, and petersham laces. Elizas are available in brown and grey/black and are on sale for $125 (

Tissots come in black or ivory and are on pre-order sale for $135 (
