Vintage 20s Heels Brown Fabric Shoes Leather Trim Ankle Strap Button The White House VFG
I love the graceful sinuous curving lines created by the tone-on-tone leather trim used for these 1920s heels. The toebox suggests a T-strap with its cutouts - the shoe actually has a narrow strap that angles from Mary Jane positioning to ankle-strap. The heels are a classic curvy spool shape.

MATERIALS/COLORS: Color is cognac brown. Most of the upper is a silky ribbed fabric - grosgrain or bengaline. the trim and the heels are leather. I can't quite tell whether the outer sole is leather or composition. The toebox is lined in a cream colored canvas fabric, and the rest in matching leather, with a suede inset at the back of the inner heel.
MAKER: Created by The White House, San Francisco
CLOSURES: The shoes close with a small pearly orange tinged button and buttonhole, somewhat unusual for this era.
CONDITION: A few minor scuffs and discolorations but nothing significant.
I measure the outside of garments, unless stated otherwise.
For menswear, the chest is measured at armpit level.
For womenswear, the bust is measured a little below armpit level, including the room created by darts or gathers.
Waist will be measured if there is one, and hips are measured about 9" below waist level. Sleeves are measured from shoulder seam or an approximation in the absence of a shoulder seam. Garment length is measured from the back of the neck, unless otherwise stated.
The measurement numbers refer to the garment, not the body inside. For best fit, measure a similar type of garment which fits you well and compare.
If the garment is shown on Josephine, my mannequin, her measurements are 31/24.5/34". Sometimes she wears a padded bra. My live models measurements vary depending on the day and year, and I don't ask them to share that.
