I saw these heels in store before I left Australia is September (2010). When I saw them, I started to laugh, because I could just picture Ghanaian women walking past the shoe store, seeking the shoes and saying ‘I have an outfit in the same print!’.
In most parts of Ghana, black and white wax print fabrics are worn as celebration. Often to celebrate the life of a loved one recently buried or to commemorate the anniversary of their passing. It can also be worn for the birth of a child or at an engagement.
I have a feeling if I was in Ghana and I thoroughly searched through Mokola (Accra) or Adum (Kumasi) market, I would probably find a print very close to the shoe or if I looked through my Mum’s collection of black and white
Known as the ‘Cabaret’, the shoe is made by the Australian shoe brand Tony Bianco. The shoe even comes with a matching clutch. I can’t seem to find any images of the clutch.
I personally wouldn’t wear them, but I think there is something really cute about them because I think it is too much for me. But there is something about them that’s really cute!
