"From Medieval Royalty to Fashion Icons: The Fascinating History of Crakows" Step back in time and explore the captivating world of crakows, also known as foals or poulaines. These unique shoes were not only a fashion statement but also a symbol of status and elegance. In the 14th century, noblewomen like the Woman of the Ursins family adorned themselves with tall horned bonnets, gold-lined fur-trimmed dresses, and of course, crakows. These pointed-toe shoes added an extra touch of sophistication to their already regal attire. Anne of Auvergne, Dauphine d'Auvergne, wife of Duke Louis II, embraced her noble lineage by wearing armorial dress with coats-of-arms proudly displayed on her clothing. Her crakows complemented her crown jewels and plaits perfectly. Lady in waiting to Isabelle of Bavaria showcased another variation - a tall conical bonnet paired with a veil that cascaded down elegantly. Her high-waisted gold dress with an ermine hem exuded gracefulness alongside her stylish crakows. Even earlier in history, Ermengarde from the 12th century donned red velvet trimmed with fur while holding a book close to her heart. Her long crakows completed this intellectual lady's ensemble. The muse herself, Laure de Noves or Laure de Sade captivated hearts during Petrarch's era. She wore a shell hat called coquille or cale along with a green dress adorned with violets - all beautifully accompanied by her fashionable crakows. Moving forward into royalty once again, Marie of Anjou graced France as Queen consort to Charles VII. With her truncated hennin and jeweled necklace accentuating her black velvet robe lined with ermine; it was impossible not to notice those exquisite crakows she wore.
