La chatte Bottée - Vintage Shoe Parties!

2007-10-01T21:00:00.000-04:00

MTL STREET LOVES LA CHATTE BOTTÉE VINTAGE SHOE PARTIES Nika: Dress: Boutique Lustre// Shoes: La Chatte Bottée. Carole: Dress & belt: Village des Valeurs// Scarf: Volcom// Boots: La Chatte Bottée.

Nika and Carole, La Chatte Bottée Vintage Shoe owners

Website: myspace.com/lachattebottee

La Chatte Bottée, c'est quoi?

Nika and Carole invite all ladies, once every month, to have a look at their carefully chosen collection of vintage shoes, with drinks and more - a must. Born out of a need for fabulous vintage shoes and a certain disdain for cookie-cutter styles offered by major retailers, best friends Nika and Carole created La Chatte Bottée, a business dedicated to offering unique vintage shoes and boots from the 60s, 70s and 80s. Armed with spot-on taste for trends, the ladies scoured the earth and hand picked the perfect mix of styles to suit any discerning girls taste.

Où et comment on peut vous trouver?

La Chatte Bottée offers their discerning customers the opportunity to shop in the relaxed atmosphere of a shopping party. Each month La Chatte Bottée sets up boutique in a different Montreal location, offering up drinks and nibbles to their customers. There are no rules and boys are allowed, as long as they bring a lady-friend! Drop a line at lachattebottée@gmail.com to know when and where the party is happening.

Where the Chattes Bottées' shop?

Preloved, Boutique Lustre, Village des Valeurs, Local 23, Headquarters, eBay.

How would you describe Mtl's style?

Varies by neighbourhoods. Plateau is different from St-Catherine from HoMa from Rosemont… know what I mean? We're fashion forward without being fashion victims. We like nice things but we're cheap.

What's your favourite expression?

“Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.” Or even, “I never think that people die. They just go to department stores.” Respectively, Oscar Wilde and Andy Warhol.

What do you do? Songs and cartoons.
Where do the clothes you are wearing come from (in the picure)?
The red boat shoes are from the trash in Wisconsin. In the same pile I found a green pair, also exactly my size. It was fun to mix and match the two pairs, but sadly the green ones ran away a couple years back.The socks are some morning-after-a-sleepover socks that a friend gave me to start my day fresh in, since my socks from the day before stunk too badly. The pants are from a Concordia clothing swap. The yellow belt(not pictured) is from a yard sale. The yellow hankerchief sticking out of my pocket is from 100-Yen store in Japan. The grandpa shirt was from an other massive curb-score near my house in the East End the other day.I'm guessing that an old man with my exact build passed away, and they threw out his entire 60's and 70's era wardrobe. Thanks my friend,whoever you were. The hat is from a St. Vincent de Paul's down in the US and A.
