Vintage 1980s Black Velvet Smoking Slippers with Christmas Theme, Women's Size 9

Seldom worn (check the treads) and in very good pre-loved condition, these velvet smoking slippers with embroidered Christmas trees are ready to add a little elegance to your next holiday gathering! Women's Size 9, true to size. A little fun trivia: The development of the smoking slipper coincided with the fashion of men wearing smoking jackets at the turn of the 19th to 20th century. They are also called "Albert slippers," after Queen Victoria's prince consort, Albert. Smoking jackets are few and far between today, but smoking slippers are still as elegant as ever, and have never really gone out of vogue. Small changes make a big difference! Every time you shop secondhand, you are extending the life of an item and protecting our fragile environment. Thank you!
