Look at my shoes - for Crystel

This one is for my friend Crystel. I see her only twice a year when I go back to Europe and I miss her. This summer we both bought a very similar pair of red shoes and it became a sort of an in-joke between us. When I saw this add for shoes in one of the vintage magazines I bought in Jinbocho I immediately felt like sending it to her.
The envelope is made from a very cheep print of a famous japanese woodblock print.
There are not so many price tags around these days, everything seems to be bar coded, sigh... definitely collecting them.
