shoe designer, Tracey Neuls

…

New to her collection is the

Ally Lippizan Derby Shoe

all leather

wood heels

quirky pointed toes

white hairs with contrast brown laces

…

Derby shoes are kindred designs to brogues, Oxfords, Bluchards.

A distinct feature of a traditional derby is the shoe lace eyelets construction

which are positioned on top (as opposed to beneath)

the vamp (front section) of a shoe.

Unlike the Oxford shoe, which were worn for more formal occasions-

the Derby, dating back to the 1850s,

was for casual wear, more specifically hunting / sporting events.

…

The Ally Lippizan shoe is a design nod to a classic footwear.

Visit Ms. Neuls two independent London boutiques-

located in hot-shop-spots:  Marylebonne Lane and Redchurch Street, Shoreditch.

The window displays are eye arresting (so you will stop!).

The interior decors are whimsical fun (so you will stay awhile!).
