“Did You Know?”

 A Pair Of Chainmaille Shoes Sell For Over $1,000!

  That’s right chainmaille is being used by top name designers!  The designers are incorporating gorgeous chainmaille into their shoe designs.  The chainmaille sandles pictured above are designed by Giuseppe Zanotti for Balmain and are sold at Neiman Marcus and Bloomingdales.

These shoe designs are being worn by such superstars as Desperate Housewives’ Marcia Cross!  These same fabulous sandals were also spotted on Courtney Hansen the week before!

It’s amazing when you think about chainmaille first being used in 400 B.C. as armor to protect warriors from being stabbed to death.

If you want to dress up your own pair of boring pumps, just add a bit of chainmaille and voila!  You have added pop to an otherwise plain pair of pumps.
Stay tuned for more “Did You Know?” by me The ChainMaille Lady™
