Bona fide Russian Felt Boots Invade The Fantastic World Of Fashion

The creation of the warm and convenient Russian felt boots can be dated back in the 12th century, as felt boots were discussed in a literary jewel entitled "The Lay of Igor's Host." Felt boots were also considered as treasured family heirlooms passed on to the next generation during ancient times, as these magnificent boots were as expensive as today. The ingenious idea behind this charming footwear can be discovered in two Russian museums found in Myshkin, and in the Urusovo village.

In the current world of Russian fashion, the felt boots are making a comeback as the ultimate winter footwear among the rich and notable European ladies. Russian designer and founder of the Russian Fashion House in Moscow, Yelena Pelevina, has been creating her sophisticated couture felt boots from camel wool, and has been experimenting with a medley of colors. Ordinarily, felt boots were only available in tinges of black, white, and gray. Nowadays, fashionistas can choose from a diverse set of lively colors, such as emerald green, rich purple, and saffron. International fashion shows featuring shapely models wearing felt boots have paved way for this latest style. Contemporary felt boots are now adorned with tapestries and glittery jewels, making the Russian felt boots a fashion statement, and not just a vital winter necessity.
