My mother's father A J Birch. This is where she gets her talent from. By trade he was a "clicker", the person who cuts the leather for shoes, but was also a designer and a very good artist. He invented the sling-back heel but his designs were laughed at. The following year somebody else presented the same idea and it took off! | |
