Etsy Picks on Momtastic: Felted High Top Baby Shoes

January 18, 2011

ETSY FELTED BABY SHOES Seeing these sweet felted baby high tops instantly reminded me of the classic Chuck Taylor All-Stars, immortalized as the ultimate sneaker. After reading Etsy seller The Clever Kitty’s description of her booties, I discovered that she was, in fact, inspired by her “beloved Chuck Taylor’s,” a connection no one could deny.

Rachel Faucett designs children clothes and runs Handmade Charlotte, a blog about design and vintage for children. She lives on a farm just outside of Atlanta with her husband and their five children.

Handmade Charlotte began with a few bolts of vintage fabric and a string of late nights making clothes for her daughters Isabella and Charlotte after everyone had gone to bed. Rachel had been selling antiques at the markets for several years with a strong focus on items for children and moving into clothing was a natural progression.
