Day 116 - Espadrilleana

These fabulous, if somewhat war-worn, canvas espadrilles stand proud at L'Enoteca in Gertrude Street.  They were purchased some years ago at the supreme espadrille shrine, La Manual Alpargatera, in Barcelona.  "Celebrity" clients of the boutique include, apparently, Salvador Dali, Michael Douglas, and....the Pope!!!   They are worn, maybe inappropriately, with Balmain's old classic Ivoire.
