Shabbies
June 30th, 2009
I’ve had my eyes on a pair for years now and since they were on sale AND available in my size and in an amazing colour… Hey, what can a girl do.
Shabbies were originally designed in the seventies by Dutch shoe designer Fred de la Bretoniere and are comfortable, fashionable, beautiful, and the perfect mix between nonchalant and chic. Shabby chic!
The colours of the natural leather are seriously amazing, and I really like the fact that they look equally cool with skinny trousers, a skirt or a mini dress. And of course they are much easier to chase kids with than 3 inch high heels!
If you’re interested in a pair of Shabbies, I suggest emailing this shop to ask if they would ship to your country. Or, of course, come to visit the Netherlands soon!

they are very cool and whenever I see them in the shops I admire the nice colors…
buuuuuut…I wear a size 43 and it is quiet hard to find nice shoes!
Esther- the dutch seem to be huge fans of boots all year round right…even the last days I still see them everywhere…:)

Hi peggy,
Yep, it’s true, even on hot summer days the Dutch like their boots… They like to ‘dress down’ their frilly dresses with nonchalant boots. It’s a style that works well for mums, I find…
