Pair of mules/sandals (slides) handmade by Gaza Bowen. The sandals do not match in pattern (on purpose); both are in black and white leather with a coral colored sueded leather lining. A: Right shoe; large negative applique white circle on a black field, black and white diamon shapes on the outside, piece of white colored reptile patterned leather; the one inch heel is black with small negative applique white dots on the outside; the inside throat has slightly large negative applique white dots on black leather; the vamp is stitched white chevrons on black leather with a small knot of white patent leather at the end of each row of stitching.; the toe is black reptile edged on two sides with pinked white leather; the end of the open toe is black with diagonal white piping. B: Left shoe has a black reptile triangle on the outside, edged on all sides with pinked white leather; above that is white reptile, trimmed with a curve of pinked black leather; there's a knot of white leather in the black leather next to the reptile skin; the toe is white leather appliqued with black leather zig-zags; a black stripe is appliqued from the throat to the toe; next to it is a line of knots of black leather on white leather; the inside is a random series of negative applique white dots on a black field; the one inch heels are trimmed with three negative applique white diagonal lines on a black field.

These are among Gaza Bowen's favorite shoes/sandals to wear.
