Size
Our Women's Smoking Shoe has a menswear-inspired shape rooted in classic formal wear, featuring a higher profile and slightly wider fit than our Women's Loafer.
SKU: WSS065-K0135
  • This pair is one-of-a-kind! We photograph each one-of-a-kind pair individually, so the shoes you see in the two main images are exactly what you will receive.
  • Upper made from a hand-selected textile (learn more below). Leather sole with 3/4 inch heel.
  • Handmade in Istanbul in a small, family-owned workshop.

As opposed to flat-woven kilims, hand-knotted oriental carpets are known for their “pile,” the small, raised fibers that give it a fuzzy texture and a soft, velvety hand. That quality has made oriental carpets more difficult to work with in the past, but our clever cobblers have found a way to gently shave down the pile while preserving its lush feel and appearance.

Each of our Carpet pieces is handmade from vintage, one-of-a-kind Turkish carpets, which means that no two will ever be alike. We photograph each item individually, so what you see on the product page is exactly what you'll receive.

If you plan on using your shoes for daily walks, you may extend the life of the soles by asking your local cobbler to attach a rubber sole to them.

The textile and leather sole are very durable and will age well with time. Avoid rain or snow, but if your shoes do become a little bit wet, that’s ok; just let them dry out completely and continue wearing as usual.

To clean stains, blot with a warm washcloth. Let heavier dirt or mud stains dry, and once dried, brush them off with a bristle brush.

Thoughtfully crafted, down to the last detail

FAQs

Since our products are made from vintage textiles, each pair we make is completely unique! Even two pairs cut from the same carpet can look very different depending on placement of the pattern, borders vs. interior, etc.

The carpets themselves are vintage, generally with some sort of damage that makes them no longer suitable for use in a home. We repurpose the intact parts as shoes and accessories.

Yes! We photograph each pair of our one-of-a-kind shoes individually, so the two main images at the very top of the page are exactly what you'll receive. Additional images and videos are of other Women's Loafers, just to show you the style in action.

Unfortunately not. The beauty of our Kilim shoes and handbags is that each one is one of a kind, completely unique, and you will be the only person who has them! For this reason, we cannot replicate a pair of Kilim shoes that has already sold, or create a custom pair in your size. We use large pieces of Kilim textile to create the shoes, so it is possible that we have a similar looking pair in your size that is “cut from the same cloth”, but we cannot guarantee it, and we cannot re-create a “sold out” pair.

We release new batches of inventory most Thursdays at noon, and always notify our email list of what’s been added to the site. You can join the Flying Carpet Shoe Club to find out about new stock, new collections and the latest happenings at Artemis (and also to receive a 10% welcome discount!). We promise not to flood your inbox, and to only reach out to you if we have something really exciting to share!

Absolutely beautiful

"Beautiful materials, workmanship, technique, pattern placement and attention to detail. These shoes are worth every penny. I went up half a size and glad I did as they are snug! Loved the fit notes that came with shoes. I was considering returning them but they are loosening up nicely and strangely comfortable despite the close fit. I LOVE my new shoes"

So Good!

"Fit like a glove. Very comfortable. Struggled to get them on first time but I followed directions and now they are perfect"

Lauren S. (5/5)

Still breaking them in

"This is second pair of 2 pairs ordered on my first order with Artemis to see what size works best for me, an 8 or 8. 5. Size 8 was too small. I like the shoes a lot, but I am still breaking them in. I wear them about about an hour in the morning. This pair is still snug on the big toes, more so on left foot than right foot. Maybe a size 9 will be best for me in the future? I intend to keep the size 8. 5 since I have worn them and will return the size 8."

Mary M. (5/5)

A perfect pair!

"this my second pair of the smoking shoes and they are even better than the first one was. I was not quite sure about lighter colors but I’ve encountered no difficulties as far as cleaning goes."
