La Voleuse custom ballet flats

While poking around online for some new ballet flats (after bringing much trauma to my year-old pair last weekend by foolishly wearing them to the beach), I stumbled across La Voleuse’s custom handpainted ballet shoes. You select one of 15 colors (including sparkly silver and gold), pick a design that features a tattoo-style banner (I’m most fond of the “sparrow” and “heart w/ leaves” illustrations), and across the banner La Voleuse will scrawl a song lyric of your choice—their suggestions include some Bowie (“If you say run, I’ll run with you”), Smiths (“Sweetness, I was only joking”), and Blondie (“Color me your color, darling”), but La Voleuse will do any text as long as it’s under 30 characters. It’s sort of like how my best friend and I used to graffiti lines from Lemonheads songs on each other’s Chuck Taylor’s in tenth grade, only much prettier and more conducive to a spontaneous relevé, pas de bourrée, or maybe even a little grand jeté.
