Kool Kilim

Leave it to the globetrotting bohemians of the 60s to think to combine leather and kilims into a pair of boots. As much as we’d love to scour the souks of Morocco for a pair, it’s just not in our foreseeable future. Luckily, the designers behind Cobra Society and Kiboots have started reproducing the vintage kilim stunners, making them accessible to us all! Groooooovy.

(Cobra Society $700-$1000; Kiboots $250)

  1. I was unsure about the look of these boots – until I saw the second photo. I’m a fashion believer now. =)

    OMG, WHY haven’t we seen this earlier?! It makes perfect sense! I love them. They don’t actually seem to have any cobra society over at netaporter, but I’ll keep an eye out for them for sure.

    You can get exactly the same, and I mean exactly the same for 20 USD in Marrakech, spend the rest of your 700 on the ticket and buy them yourself in the souk!
