Oddity of the Week: Brocade boots

Voodoo Dolly Inamagura brocade bootsBrocade is one of those fabrics that tends to get doled out only for the poshest of getups. It’s a trusted ingredient in corsetry of the opera-box flavor, often whittled down to fancy chokers for the aristocratic airs to be savored in smaller bites (and softer whallops to the pocketbook.) It’s rare to see it surface on footwear within an affordable price point, even more rare to behold it within the realm of an alt brand. Inamagura, stocked by Voodoo Dolly, has decided to do something about that – glamming up a classic Victorian boot in plum and black, crossing the front laces with rhinestone-encrusted buckles and detailing the toes and heels with old-world perforation. A good choice for those nights when you’d prefer the elegant lacing to take place on your feet, not your midsection.
