Mabel Lawson made these shadow quilted slippers and matching bag as a wedding present for Dorothy Aubin in July 1939. The workmanship is exquisite, and the original gift label is still intact. They must have been a treasured gift, as they have never been used. Both the slippers and bag were kept in a second, plain silk bag which has a top flap and fastens with a button.
