Eco- friendly slipper with a hint of chic…

charentaises4.jpg

The good old Charentaises went all the way up to Paris today and enjoyed a bit of glam and ego boost!

The famous pair of slippers were paraded in a fashion show in the Eiffel Tower…oui oui oui! Apparently they have become the new must have accessory…

Dating back in 1670 these little gems were hand made near Angouleme and entirely made from wool. Today they have been claimed as a fashion accessory.

Does that mean I can now open the door to the postman with no shame?

    yes it does.

    and if you’re wearing a matching negligee you get double pony points

    I don’t know what pony points are. I just stole the expression from RenalFailure

    I usually get double pony points if it is cold and I am wearing a thin t-shirt.

    I know what pony points are. You’ll all think I’m a sissy, so I’m not telling.

    Meanwhile, I’m investigating the price of a postman’s outfit. I had never considered the sorts of open-door experiences these fellas might have before.

    Thanks Nursemyra: hopefully the negligee will outbalance the slippers…they are vile!
    Woppit: not too sure what I would like to see first…the suit covered in dog sh*t or the thin tee…scenario…
    Ghosty: I am glad I have opened you a door to many new possibilities ;-)
    What’s a sissy Ghosty?

    Yes I think you could be right with China….. but I can’t see me sporting a pair (even if they were made in Angouleme) as I meet the postie as lovely as Angouleme is (doubt my postie even knows where France is ;-) )
