These may look like a typical shoes, but they're made from 18th-century leather that was discovered in a shipwreck off Britain's south coast (seriously...). Before it sank, the stash of reindeer hide had been treated with yeast and wood liquor to make it supple, strong, and waterproof, and it's now being lovingly made into shoes by master Brit cobblers New & Lingwood. Hurry up !! only 60 pairs left for $1,580 each. www.newandlingwood.comWednesday, February 08, 2006
