Keep toes toasty with Stubbs & Wootton slippers
The Duke of Windsor had an impressive collection of shoes – so large it covered an entire wall, including a selection of velvet slippers by British label Peal & Co. A man of distinct sartorial elegance, his hand-tailored drobe was enviable in volume and flair, with the Duke one of the most lavishly dressed monarchs in history.
As the weather begins to cool, make like the aristocrats do and don a pair of velvet slippers to keep your toes toasty. Founded in Palm Beach, Florida, in 1993, Stubbs & Wootton specialises in luxurious, day-to-night slippers and espadrilles.
Featuring motifs of royal-like emblems, pirate skulls and swords, and shark jaws surrounding a crown – inspired by the Duke of Windsor’s narrow escape from a shark – these handcrafted shoes can suit a daywear ensemble of cuffed jeans with a tailored blazer, or night at home by the fire, with a navy, velvet dressing gown draped over your shoulders, a pipe in one hand and a whisky in the other.
