Getting started with the collection:
Pair of ankle-length boots with shoe
Chalopin, c. 1830 - c. 1840
These ankle-length boots were probably made from an older pair of shoes. When they went out of fashion, the Parisian cobbler Chalopin attached a silk tricot throat (stocking). This was tied at the side with a cord.
