Mai Lamore shoes

I was browsing through my Elle magazine yesterday, and came upon these lovely shoes! They’re made by a French designer, Mai Lamore. (For our reader(s) out there who aren’t Carmen or Emilily, we recently purchased feather earrings, so this is in keeping with a theme.)

Here is a link to a larger picture at SBeulah’s fashion blog, because you really have to see them full size to appreciate the beautiful detail.

When I did a quick web search to see where one might purchase these beauties, I found another stunning pair, made out of hand-painted silk and 18-karat gold, for only $27,945.

I know the price seems a bit outrageous, but I think these really are a work of art, and the fact that they are functional makes them that much more valuable.

Seems a little more reasonable when you consider someone paid $72.8 million for Rothko’s  Yellow, Pink and Lavender on Rose. I wonder if anyone pointed out to them that they could have had 2,605 pairs of Mai Lamore Rose petal shoes instead.
