Prince of Autumn Leaves

Oberon and Titania shoes

Stock availability: 1

AUD $ 1,250.00 (Inclusive of GST)

The Prince of Autumn Leaves were originally made as part of our 1994 exhibition “Metamorphosis”.  They are made from natural leather, dyed and embossed to resemble leaves wrapping around your feet.  The feathered edges and (optional) turned up toe or (optional) curled up sole really add to the fantasy of elven footwear made from the forest floor.

Available in autumn browns or greens (other colours available too). Options include laces instead of the simple slip on.  Curly leather sole or turned up toes are also options. Contact us for details on price add ons.

More About The Product

Also known as Oberon boots or leaf shoes, they were the original Pendragon leaf design. We have always been inspired to make shoes from fairy tale books and this was really taking it up a level.  It was our first experiment with embossing and hand painting leather to look like leaves as part of our nature inspired Metamorphosis exhibition.

We made the series in our shop above Elizabeth Arcade in Brisbane in 1994. We received an Arts Queensland grant to make a series of art shoes and tour them to a couple of locations in Queensland. We held a performance of all of the designs at a (now unfortunately demolished) ballroom in Elizabeth St in Brisbane City. Each pair of shoes was portrayed as a character to music and the model wore costumes to match.

We later traveled to Cairns and displayed them at Crackerbox Palace (a store selling a great collection of artifacts). We also had an exhibition at Woodford Folk Festival as part of our stall that year.

These are made to measure. For sizing information and how to measure your feet, download sample foot drawing below where it says DOWNLOAD SIZE CHART. To see more details for measuring, please see the bespoke ordering page.
