I can’t decide if I love these or if they are just odd. The material is kinda curtain-y, but the rhinestone encrusted buckle detail is darling. But they are like $1400, so I most certainly will not be owning them anytime soon. Here is the description of Zoraide shoes from their website:

Each stitch is the smallest that a human hand can produce,

and the fabrics are exclusively created by looms

which are a hundred years old.

The leather is tanned naturally as the different models

have to fit like gloves.

The embroideries are made using precious beads

and the finest antique materials.

The last artisan in Italy making heels in wood has created

these beautiful beech wood heels.

Translation: These biaches are fancy. And expensive. Seriously? The smallest possible human stitch? Hundred year old looms? If I bought these, I would have to carry around that little speech with me. If nothing but to make myself feel better when I looked at my bank account. Yowza.
