Authentic Birdies The Starling Black Velvet Slipper Size: 8 Worn once (sadly not the right size for me), like new! Excellent condition! Ready to be re-loved. A classic smoking slipper crafted of premium black velvet, this shoe is soft to the touch and has a subtle sheen. We covered our footbeds with a satin lining for added luxury and comfort. The flat is complete with our signature grosgrain backtab and gold Birdies logo.
