Feathers
Feathers
We wanted to
drop you a line to shout about one of our favourite trends for 2018.
The spring
catwalks showcased the feather in a big way. Plume-smothered dresses and
feather-embellished shoes stole the spotlight as the fashion elite fell in love
all over again with this most feminine of decorative twists. With the high street
now embracing the trend in a big way, it seems like the feather is set to be a
key look for spring and summer.
A Decadent Past
Feathers have always been at the centre of fashion’s most decadent trends. From the gloriously extravagant feather-trimmed hats of Edwardian ladies to the feather shaking flappers of the roaring twenties and the discreetly placed feather fans of history’s most notorious burlesque stars, feathers equal danger, femininity and a whole lot of fun. Why wouldn’t you want to step out in feathers this spring?

We have to let you into a little secret. We have never stopped loving the feather and our boudoir collection features the most sumptuous, feather-embellished shoes around. You see, we don’t do fads and we don’t do fleeting trends. We have been creating utterly gorgeous hand-made shoes with love for over 30 years. These are the feather-covered boudoir slippers of your dreams.

Happy Easter
Easter
It is the influence of
the traditional spring rights that made Easter so egg-special. Myths coming
down to us from an incredibly distant past have shown man's relationship with
the egg to be very deep seated one.
There are reports of myths of the whole universe
created out of an egg. Thus, it is not unusual that in almost all ancient
cultures eggs had been held as an emblem of life. The concept of all living
beings born from an egg is also a foundational concept of modern biology.
Despite claims being made that Easter Eggs were
originally pagan symbols, there is no solid evidence for this. It was not until
the 18th Century that Jakob Grimm theorized a putative pagan connection to
Easter Eggs with a goddess of his own whom he named Ostara, a suggested German
version of Eostre.
The Goddess Ostara and the Origin of the Easter Bunny
Ostara,
the Goddess of Dawn (Saxon), who was responsible for bringing spring each year,
was feeling guilty about arriving so late. To make matters worse, she arrived
to find a pitiful little bird who lay dying, his wings frozen by the snow.
Lovingly, Ostara cradled the shivering creature and saved his life.
Legend
has it that she then made him her pet or, in the X-rated versions, her lover.
Filled with compassion for him since he could no longer fly because of his
frost-damaged wings, the goddess Ostara turned him into a rabbit, a snow hare,
and gave him the name Lepus.
She
also gave him the gift of being able to run with astonishing speed so he could
easily evade all the hunters. To honor his earlier form as a bird, she
also gave him the ability to on one day out of each year. Lay eggs (in all the colours of
the rainbow, no less), but he was only allowed to lay eggs.
Eventually Ostara
lost her temper with Lepus (some say the raunchy rabbit was involved with
another woman), and she flung him into the skies where he would remain for
eternity as the constellation Lepus (The Hare), forever positioned under
the feet of the constellation Orion (the Hunter).
But
later, remembering all the good times they had once enjoyed, Ostara softened a
bit and allowed the hare to return to earth once each year, but only to give
away his eggs to the children attending the Ostara festivals that were held
each spring.
Easter
eggs, the Easter Bunny, the dawn that arrives with the resurrection of life,
and the celebration of spring all remind us of the cycle of rebirth and the need
for renewal in our lives.
The
goddesses of springtime, Persephone,
Ishtar, and Ostara, bring us the message of awakening and personal growth.
Their gift is the motivation and the energy we need to pursue our dreams. As
the tender green buds begin to leaf out around us, our own lives are refilled
with vital energy. Spring is the time to make room in our hearts for a passion
for all things new.
