 a sure sign we've turned that corner into spring is the token ladybird sighting! #needlepointvans #heatfeet

these custom floral ladybird needlepoints had sat on the shelf for near 4 years. i had plans to shoot them again & do them the justice they deserve however they flew out the door too soon. don't sleep!

vintage VAN DOREN custom XMAS SHOES red canvas plimsoll style #19 MADE IN USA 1960's 1970's merry xmas vans

 merry xmas from the van dorens, & the other side of the pillow.
























vintage van doren style #19 lace-up
merry xmas embroidery
red canvas
customade in usa circa late 60's
used in original box
size N/A

a very rare example of some bespoke style #19 lace-ups custom made for a friend of the van doren family. to say these are hand made is superfluous because all original vans were made by hand. the hand crafted embroidery however is 1 of a kind, as are the custom striped laces. they feature the van doren external heel tab & internal heel pads & are thought to be from the late 60's. the have been used sparingly although do show wear perhaps only from use on xmas day for the past 40+ years!

a perfect example of the timeless vans tradition whereby you could provide your own fabric for the uppers of the model of your choice. note the detail of the handmade alignment of the vertical stripes from opposing panels. an incredibly rare example of the van's 1960's 'customade' arch supports & heel tab 'styled by house of vans'.
