Posso The Spat: very bold over-the-shoe accessories, inspired by the late 1800s

At first I thought I was completely crazy, and had somehow clicked over to the ferociously fugly Halloween accessories sure to come out soon, which always feature those super-cheap PVC over-the-shoe concoctions. But no - each of these are US$200-300 and by designers Marylouise Pels and Vanessa Giovacchini. The retailer explains that these spats are "an updated version of the over-the-shoe accessory popular in the late 1800s. This spat is made of high-end Italian leather with a bendable internal wire structure." So the weird looseness, conspicious flare, odd mismatched colors and funky fits are all deliberate. At US$286 for the longest Spat, the Siren, I think I'm going to have to pass.
