Italian Renaissance at 12th Night

The ankle boots were the final part to a black velvet Italian tunic made for the annual SCA 12th Night celebration in Hemet, CA. The touch of suede gave them the perfect blend of textures to tie them to the matte velvet and silk cord accents. The soles were French crepe for dancing and flexible enough for the period style moves.

Also ran into Paul Giles in his new Elizabethan and he’s thinking new footwear. The first pair we did for him were so comfortable, he’s decided he should have others. That kind of feedback is always nice to hear.

Italian Renaissance Ankle Boots

suede trimmed Italian Renaissance boot

Just in time for 12th Night. This boot is a blend of a Medieval style boot and the Renaissance boots worn in the movie Romeo and Juliet with Michael York. We added the suede detail on the cuff to give it a touch of texture and color contrast. The costume is black velvet, so the suede will have a similar degree of blackness. The whole costume will be worn to the SCA 12th Night festivities in Hemet, Ca. We put a flexible French crepe sole on them for dancing. I can’t wait to see the whole costume pulled together.
