Narwhal Pumps

Eccentric, Hand-Painted Vintage Pumps by Scholarlyarticles

These narwhal pumps by ScholarlyArticles are probably the most ridiculously amazing thing ever, just because they feature one of my most favourite creatures on the planet. I mean, who wouldn’t want a unicorn wale on their feet? A-mazing!

The narwhal pumps were hand painted by Scholarly Articles, an Etsy designer who hand paints vintage-style shoes like the ones seen in the gallery above, many of which were clearly inspired by her oceanic surroundings in Long Beach, CA.
