The Palm Beach flagship Stubbs and Wootton Store is a “candy store” filled with colorful and cleverly designed slipper shoes.
As an interior designer, I have been an enthusiastic advocate of The House of Scalamandre and have specified their fabrics and trims since I started my business in 1989. Their documentary and reproduction fabrics have historical significance, along with their superb silks and trims. The products they offer are extraordinarily divine and can become addictive for anyone that appreciates fine design.
At The House of Scalamandre Showroom, D&D, NYC, I am holding the classic Tigre velvet in pink!
It was an honor and a thrill to be invited as a guest speaker at the D&D, NYC, for Design Week. Following that event, I gave another talk in the stunning Scalamandre showroom, where they graciously hosted a “Pink” themed book signing party. The cherry on top for that day? They presented me with the perfect pink gift: a classic pair of Stubbs and Wootton linen slippers with an embroidered design featuring The House of Scalamandre’s iconic “Zebra” pattern. The whimsical Zebra pattern was originally designed as wallpaper for Gino’s restaurant in the 1940’s, with a delightful history. The pretty shoes were a wee bit too small, so another pair was quickly ordered for me.
Do you know about Stubbs and Wootton?
These darling pink “Stubbies” feature the notable Clock Tower, which is located at the end of Worth Avenue on the ocean in Palm Beach.
In Palm Beach, near the Everglades Club on Worth Avenue, is the quintessential shoe store, Stubbs and Wootton. Lovingly referred to as “Stubbies,” these slippers have been collected and worn worldwide by a stunning lineage of devotees ever since the brand was launched in Palm Beach in 1993. Gentlemen wear their linen, needlepoint, and corduroy styles, sockless, to social functions, while the velvet designs are de rigueur for Black tie events. And ladies wear them casually. It is always a delight to be greeted by Nicolo in their flagship store. I was overjoyed to receive the Scalamandre gift pair and made a little Instagram video!
The collaboration between Scalamandre and Stubbs and Wootton is a perfect convergence, a “marriage made in heaven!” Scalamandre's various fabric designs translate well into the embroidery designs that embellish several of Stubbs's shoes.
Thank you, Scalamandre, for my pretty pink zebra shoes… they are happily at home here in Palm Beach!
