Hello Darlings!

We are super excited to announce that our sister company Royal Vintage has released the newest collection line for Pre-Order (Delivery in early June)! It's named Deco Darling and it is a jazzy collection of shoes from the 1920s and 30s.

Evelyn, Roxy, and Lillian


As with American Duchess and Royal Vintage Pre-Orders, if you place your order by the end of May you will receive $20 off (Reg. $150) and Free Shipping in the USA! The shoes are already in production, and so we only have a limited number of sizes available.

This line was created on the same last and heel as 23Skidoo, Harlow (Former Exclusive), and Claremont. We've made the adjustments to fix the oxford sizing issue that we had in Claremont, so the new oxford, Evelyn will run true to size. Also, with that 2 3/8" (6cm) heel, you'll be able to walk, work, or dance the whole day or night in comfort!

Evelyn is a canvas and leather multi-season oxford. We love that the canvas upper with leather details will be cool enough to wear in the summer but the full foot coverage will protect your feet in the spring and fall. The tan and brown color-way will be that perfect neutral for business attire to crisp summer dresses while blue and brown gives a bit more 'KaPow! to your look, and will be especially fun for any menswear inspired outfits in your wardrobe.

"The name on everybody's lips is going to be...Roxy" :) If you want glam, comfort, and jazz then Roxy is the shoe for you. With gold or silver leather and her rhinestone buckle, she's the perfect shoe for dressing up any outfit and having a glam night out on the town. Lauren wore her gold Roxy shoes all over New York City this fall and was comfortable the whole day.We're kind of obsessed with them... to be honest.
