Baby It's Cold Outside

Brrrrrr....

As the temperature in Shelburne hovers around -10 degrees Farenheit, I started to wonder what amazing cold-weather clothes we have in our collection.

Searching through our database, I came across these fabulous carriage boots from the late 19th century.



Women's Carriage Boots

Made of velvet in a green and gold honeycomb pattern, the brown fur edging was sure to keep the wearer warm and fashionable. Plus, they have a quilted pink silk lining.

While these boots would probably not be practical for trudging through the snow, I wish I had a classy pair of boots like these for rides around town!

  1. I don't know if your toes would be warm, but your ankles would be.
