Valentino Lace Flat Smoking Slipper for 2012 Fall/Winter.

Bucking all the trends for 2012/2013 Fall/winter comes Valentino with these elegant and feminine lace embroidered "smoking" flat.  Nowhere is to be seen the wedges, pointed flats or low heeled chelsea boots we all have gotten used to from designers this winter, and this little surprise piece gives a genuine alternative to eyes tired of too much of the same thing.

As the images show the detailing is quite superb, and these are well worth the £495 asking price, with rubber soles for practicality when out and about, and leather linings with a padded insole. Available now at Valentino boutiques and outlets worldwide.
