It’s about to get a whole lot easier to get your hands on a pair of coveted Fiorentini + Baker boots. You know the rustic, yet sexy boots that you see celebs like Sarah Jessica Parker, Nicole Kidman, Jennifer Aniston, Jessica Biel and Alessandra Ambrosio spending their days in? It’s these pairs by designer Deborah Baker, the Italian boot maker—and she’s opening a temporary store at 54 Mercer St. in Soho for five days, from Dec. 18 to 23. The designer will be at the store to sign the boots that she created to combine the urban edge of London with the understated, sophistication of Italy.
The philosophy behind each collection is to create styles that can be worn everyday, and after the holidays the company will make this space a permanent home in New York. To check out the styles before heading to the store, go to www.fiorentini-baker.com.
