It is no surprise to any of the regular readers of this blog that I’m very fond of beautiful shoes. I inherited this penchant from my mother, who had a huge shoe collection while I was growing up (and still does, though unfortunately, not my size!). In the last year or so, I discovered the shoes of Vancouver designer John Fluevog. The designs are fun and interesting, and they are well made and very comfortable. Most of my Fluevog collection is shown in Auntie Bright’s Pinterest board. (Except the Prepare Scout clogs/mules which are not Auntie Bright’s style, but are mine. 🙂 Proof that she’s not exactly like me, no matter what my friends claim).
This lady in Winnipeg, however, leaves me in the dust, and I am rather jealous of her one of a kind samples! 🙂 The way I’m going, I may just have this many eventually. So far, I have a mere seven pairs of Vogs, but check out Rebecca Harasym’s huge collection of wearable Fluevog art! My husband is going to quake in his un-Fluevogian boots when he sees this! 🙂 If she started collecting in 2006, it looks like she averaged something like 20 pair each year… With shoes running $150 to $200 a pair, and boots in the $350 to $400 range, this collection is probably worth $20-30,000.
