This charming pair of petite children's shoes are lovingly hand-sewn of silk and cotton, embroidered to look like little lions. Powerful yet benevolent, the lion is considered the "king of beasts" and would have been the ideal protector to watch over the young child who once wore these shoes. A visual pun for "together in harmony," children's shoes such as this make a wonderful gift and evoke the saying "may husband and wife grow old together" (tongxie daolao).

Andrea Goldman | Andrea Goldman Design

“Over the years, I’ve incorporated many pieces from PAGODA RED into my designs. Not only can they balance new furnishings (and often new construction) by feeling more established, but the pieces emanate a sense of rich history, often leaving you wondering where they were in a previous life. These beautiful pieces carefully hand-selected by the team at PAGODA RED, coupled with their unbelievable customer service, make them a must-have for any home.”
