    Beautiful! I just love this style. Again sth. you do not find very often.

    Uptil 1992 still available, but I noticed that they were still being made, although it didn.t have the elegance on them, than the new pieces were sold by piece.  Still good work though but like I said, a bit dead.  Has to be worn first to get the smoothness on them.  You know ones on their feet very nice, they lay low on the ankle and rest in the front on the foot itself and the heel.
