Detail: A rare pair of Joseph "La Rose" 1960s patent leather Mary-Jane shoes, in a glorious shade of pearl yellow. The colour is intentially uneven. T-bar strap is adjustable. Leather lined and sole. Exquisite quality and very collectable.
For fifty years, from 1949 Joseph LaRose sold shoes in Jacksonville, Florida. Working closely with various designers to create exquisite shoes and matching handbags with unique detailing and humour, it was his philosophy that good design would never go out of style. When he died in 1999, it was reported that he had retained an inventory of 300,000 pairs. LaRose had many celebrity clients: Joan Crawford, Jayne Mansfield, Betty Grable, Abigail Van Buren, Carol Channing, Brooke Shields and Jackie Kennedy.
