Back to Cool: Hand to Foot

By Ashley Primis

These gorgeous handmade shoes prove that Italians age shoes as well as wines: The mini-works of art are kept on a mold for four weeks, as opposed to the more common four days, and tanned by hand.

Bontoni shoes, $995 at Wayne Edwards, 1525 Locust Street, 215-731-0120, wayne-edwards.com.

Ashley Primis reports on the Philly goodies you’ll want as temps drop, days get shorter, and little ones head back to school. Pick up our September issue for more Prime Finds.
