Description

Museum of Edinburgh
These simple day shoes were made by the London-based company Anello & Davide, famous for their shoes for dance, theatre and film. Founded in 1922, they famously made Marilyn Monroe's shoes, 'Dorothy's' red shoes for the film The Wizard of Oz, and a version of Chelsea Boots for the Beatles that became so fashionable that mean queued around the block to buy a pair.
Anello & Davide still exists today, and produces a pair of Mary Janes of a very similar design to these within their theatrical range.
