Red Canvas Doll Espadrilles with White Laces

1950s · 1950s · French

These miniature espadrilles are crafted for the French Bleuette doll, featuring red canvas uppers with white cotton laces threaded through metal eyelets. The shoes display the classic espadrille construction with woven rope soles in natural fiber, likely jute or hemp, creating the characteristic thick braided edge. The canvas upper extends to mid-ankle height with a simple rounded toe shape. White cotton binding trims the upper edge where it meets the sole. The laces are tied in small bows, and the overall construction mirrors full-sized espadrilles popular in 1950s France, scaled down to fit the approximately 11-inch Bleuette doll.
