# 19th Century Footwear Revivals Matching Mother-Daughter Spats from Maide Munchen By Tinkalicious | Published 2008-12-31 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mother-daughter-spats-footwear-accessories-from-maide References: [trenddelacreme](http://www.trenddelacreme.com/2008/12/lets-play-spatty-cake.html) & [maide.de](http://www.maide.de/) Yes, you are not seeing things, these are spats. Not that we haven’t trended spats before, but these are actually wearable, and some are indeed splendid. The work of a German designer, Maide Munchen’s creations have quite a legion of fans, not least among them, even Karl Lagerfeld who has featured her works in recent a German [Vogue](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forever-care) edition. Maide’s slogan is “Good Mood Fashion,” which is just what it is. These accessories, seen in images from [Trend de la Creme](http://www.trenddelacreme.com/2008/12/lets-play-spatty-cake.html), were last popular in the late 19th century, and the modern versions are recreated using materials from 1900 to 1930. Although I didn’t think this was a trend that would continue, now that Mum and toddler can wear matching spats, they might just be onto something! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 57% | Activity: 14% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Revival of 19th Century Footwear:** The resurgence of wearable spats from the late 19th century presents opportunities for designers to incorporate vintage-inspired elements into modern fashion. - **Mother-daughter Matching Fashion:** The trend of matching spats for mothers and daughters opens up new possibilities for creating coordinated and stylish ensembles for families. - **Use of Vintage Materials:** The use of materials from 1900 to 1930 in the recreation of spats offers a unique selling point for brands and creates a niche in the fashion market. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion and Apparel:** Fashion brands can capitalize on the revival of wearable spats and offer consumers a blend of vintage aesthetics with modern functionality. - **Family and Parenting:** The growing trend of mother-daughter matching fashion creates opportunities for retailers to market coordinated clothing and accessories for families. - **Textiles and Fabrics:** The demand for vintage materials to recreate spats opens up potential business opportunities for textile suppliers and manufacturers specializing in historical fabrics. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Spooky Back-to-School Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keds-x-monster-high.md) - [Valentine's Family Matching Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mother-daughter-matching-outfits.md) - [Athletic Shoe Adornments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lace-pearls.md) - [Comfort-Focused Fashion Clogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/free-people-x-dr-scholls.md) - [Luxe Modern Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toblach.md) - [Kidult Baby Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super-baby.md) - [Gothic Style Perforated Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stomp-clog.md) - [Beweled Fashion Forward Clogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/simone-rocha-2.md) - [Romanticized Shoe Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mademe-x-dr-martens-1461-quad-shoe.md)
