Shabbies were originally designed in the seventies by Dutch shoe designer Fred de la Bretoniere and are the most comfortable, fashionable and beautiful boots I own. They’re 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 of Amsterdam, make your way over to one of the three Fred de la Bretoniere shops. There’s one on the St. Luciensteeg 20; one on the Van Baerlestraat 34 or one on the Utrechtsestraat 77.
