The Allure of White Boots
While white boots may not be everybody’s cup of tea, they are very versatile.
White boots are a year-round companion, transforming every ensemble into a unique look that expresses your individuality. How would you feel wearing a black dress or a monochrome black outfit and complementing it with a pair of white boots?
At Stilettissimo, we think of a white boot a little like that cashmere pullover or the Little Black Dress. They never go out of style and are always perfect for the occasion. In other words: a statement piece.
White Boots and the Space Age
Every decade seems to be dominated by specific topics that are often reflected in fashion.
In the 1960s, one of these topics was the race to space.
In 1964, the French designer André Courrèges introduced a 'Space Age' collection, comprising white mid-calf boots. Legend has it that this was the beginning of white boots.
However, from a fashion fad, white boots have long since made it to haute couture.
Urban Safari
Urban Safari is the name of the February capsule collection. In case you are not into white boots, the same model is also available in Fuchsia.
Urban Safari boots are an extravagant version of the classic Chelsea boot. Instead of being flat, we designed them with a block heel, which makes the boot more elegant and still very comfortable.
We believe the upper deserves special attention. This exquisite boa snake print gives the silhouette a certain je ne sais quoi. Of course, it is not sourced from a snake, but crafted from sheep leather, thoughtfully upcycled from the food industry.
Limited Edition
Urban Safari is limited edition, with each model restricted to 100 pairs and available only during the month of February.
Preserve Your Luxury
Leather is a natural material that needs a little love.
While we recommend a transparent nourishing shoe cream for coloured shoes, you should use a special product for white and off-white shoes as these hues are a little more sensitive. Your local shoemaker can certainly recommend the right product.
Speaking of local shoemakers: The rubber on the heels wears off over time. A good shoemaker will replace them and they will look as good as new.
Your investment in a pair of luxury shoes will always pay off.
