no high-heels, thanks.

At work I’m on my feet all day and usually walk a lot. So it’s easy to see why high-heeled shoes don’t exactly play a large role in my wardrobe. I mean, standing at work and often stepping on and off of a foot stool along with hoofing it around the city streets {and hills, don’t forget the hills!} really do not call for me slipping into any stilettos, right? I am, of course, always on the hunt for flats that are comfy and cute. I never thought about moccasins until I came across Katie‘s shop, Darlingtonia Moccasin Company. Each pair is made by hand and sewn on an entirely manual antique sewing machine {so awesome, check out her Singer 29k here}. I love the intricate detailing and think these would make a sweet addition to any girl’s shoe collection…

Packaging

ps – I had wanted to mention the beautiful packaging that Katie does. Each pair of moccasins is sent packaged in a reusable hand stamped cotton drawstring bag inside a hand screenprinted box. If that isn’t another reason to get your pair…
