I've always wanted to be an American Duchess, so imagine my surprise that there already is one, and they're as gaga for reproduction clothes as I am!
Right now, their authentic Devonshire shoes are on pre-order, so hop on over and have a look!
From the American Duchess blog:
The Devonshires are a leather 18th century shoe based on museum examples from the 1760s through 1780s. They're made of top-grade dyable leather, with a beautiful, smooth Italian leather sole for dancing, and are hard-wearing, water- and mud-proof, for even the toughest of outdoor re-enactments.
Pre-Order the Devonshires through August 10, and get the special $100 price. We're only making 200 of these shoes, so don't miss the chance to own one of only a couple hundred pair on the planet! Visit www.american-duchess.com to order.
