Rare, deadstock Vivienne Westwood 'Boulle' Gladiator footed leggings from her 1991 collaboration with the Sock Shop. They are high waisted, opaque shiny black with seamed back leg detail. These come in their beautiful original packaging which includes a mail-in questionnaire competition postcard!

This now iconic print is based on French Rococo Boulle furniture which was made by the process of inlaying tortoiseshell and metal into wood, a lost to time technique. Westwood used the relief of these Rococo furniture designs, and printed them in gold ink on stretch satins and velvets. The gold foiled appliqué was allowed to crack as the garments were activated onto the form.
