Signature Jimmy Choos with Jet strass

 

These Jimmy Choo signature heels were strassed upon the black suede. In my opinion this was just enough to help the shoes really stand out, plus it helped to give the dull suede a makeover! By strassing the gold I think it would have been too much & would have taken away from the shoes elegance.  These shoes are an example of how old or damaged heels can be renovated & bought back to life by the beauty of strass. When I first received these the metal work was dull & marked & the black suede had gone dull & picked up the odd scuff. With a professional deep clean & some TLC strass these shoes have regained there beauty... if not maybe a little more than they started with!

As with any suede I painted the areas prior to strassing in order to create a suitable surface for the crystals to adhere to without a dulling background.
