Shells on your toes

Description

Slide into this so summer and sea leather flip-flop and everyone will pay attention to your feet this summer.

♥ They are embellished in both sides with a beautiful combination of natural sea shells and colorful glass beads, all tied together with green organza ribbon, completely hand crafted.
All metal is silver plated.

♥ These leather flip flops (sandals - santalia in Greece), are made by high quality calf leather, which, because it's handmade, has it's natural marks and texture (especially in beige), which make every pair of the sandals unique, apart my crafting and beading.
The bottom part is made of rubber.
They get darker as time goes by and they get the shape of the foot since natural leather always stretches out.
They were worn (the plain ones) by some of the biggest names in Art and show-biz including the Beatles, Jackie Onassis, Rudolf Nureyev, Sophia Loren and they are based on the footwear of Socrates, Plato, Pericles, Achilles and Helen of Troy.

♥ CARE:
Avoid getting them wet in sea water, but if you do rinse them out under a faucet, let them dry and then smear regular baby oil to soften them up. Baby oil makes them soft and dark where as sea water makes them very dark and
stiff. Keep them away from heat radiators and especially puppies as well as some adult dogs (they love them!!!).

♥ The color of the leather can change (white, dark brown, beige-as in photo, black, silver, gold).
In the 3rd and 4rth photo you can see a variation in dark brown leather.
In the last photo you can see a variation in a different kind of sandal with two parallel stripes.

♥ You can convo me if you want any other color, also about the size (must be one size larger than your shoe size-european sizes-check the list below)
