Intersex Pride Flag
The Intersex Pride Flag represents individuals who have been born with one or more traits that don't fit typical male or female patterns within their genitals, hormones, chromosomes or internal organs. This variation occurs naturally in human biology.
This pride flag was created and launched in 2013 by Morgan Carpenter who at the time was the cochair of Intersex Human Rights Australia. Designed to be a flag "that is not derivative but is yet firmly grounded in meaning" it features a yellow background with a purple circle on it. The circle represents completeness and wholeness and the colours chosen are seen as gender neutral.
The Pride Fritillary ShoeWingsGive your feet wings to fly across the catwalk with these gorgeous fluttery Pride Flag coloured ShoeWings! They make excellent shoe bling for a variety of lace-up shoes such as runners, doc martins, heels and more, however if you feel they need even more bling, there's an extra eyelet at the top of each wing to attach cute bling straps or bells (available separately). This upper eyelet can also be used as an anchor point to tie your shoe art securely against your shoe for if you don't like the feeling of wings flapping as you walk, or if you buy two pairs, you can have two wings on each shoe so the inside wing can be secured to the outer wing behind the heel, making the shoe design symmetrical (which I adore) and appear as part of the shoe design itself.
Other awesome ways people have worn these... Lacing them into their corsets (which looks super adorable) Lacing them into their waist cinching laceup belts and into those vintage lace-up shirts like butterfly bowties!

These are designed to be durable, but as they are handmade, please treat them with love and care.
Clean them with water. For a deep clean, use warm soapy water and patt dry with a towel.
If you bend or crease them, Sit on them! The multiple varnishes and sealants make them malleable when slightly warmed (do not iron or overheat)
Avoid scratching them agaisnt abrasive or sharp surfaces and store them away from sunlight. Store them next to one another, not ontop of eachother. See the Blog for more Details.
