Bag, dust bag
Cloth drawstring shoe bag with black and white nylon label for pair of ankle boots.
Born in 1967 in Portsmouth, Emma Hope graduated from Cordwainer's College in 1984. Tipped as a hot British talent, alongside John Galliano, by Harper's and Queen in the year of her graduation, she started her career designing ballet pumps for Laura Ashley. The following year she unveiled her first collection of shoes featuring a selection of brocaded mules. She then worked for Betty Jackson and Jean Muir before opening her first shop in Islington, north London. Hope is known for her classic designs and use of luxurious traditional materials, often with a contemporary twist. Her motto 'Regalia for Feet' reflects these connections.
