Circa 1958, Daniel Green slippers were cherished for their delightful blend of frivolity and comfort. During World War Two, Daniel Green cleverly utilized materials that were not rationed, allowing women to indulge in boudoir slippers even when luxuries were scarce. These slippers became synonymous with pin-up glamour and femininity, offering a touch of elegance during challenging times. Post-war, women remained loyal to the brand, appreciating its enduring charm.
This pair of vintage Daniel Green peep-toe heels from 1958 exemplifies that era’s allure. Crafted in blush pink satin, they feature delicate embroidered chiffon flowers on the vamp, embodying the elegance and style of the time. The label inside proudly states “Daniel Green, Made In USA,” and the outsole is embossed with “2A75 Components Manmade,” indicating the materials used.
