Vintage 1940s hand‑carved wooden and fabric shoes — made in the Philippines just after WWII. Wedge style with green fabric toe panel, hand‑embroidered "My Love" across the vamp. Purchased as souvenirs by American GIs; a charming example of postwar folk craft and sentimental tourism.
Condition: Fair for age. Fabric shows slight fraying where it meets the wood; advisable to have the joins strengthened by a cobbler before wearing. Surface wear and age‑related patina to the wood consistent with use and age.
Measurements (single shoe):
A distinctive decorative piece or wearable vintage with minor restoration—ideal for collectors of wartime and postwar memorabilia or anyone seeking a romantic, rustic accent from mid‑20th century Philippines.
