A great gift for any harry potter fan. I used a mix of fabric marker and acrylic paint to hand decorate the vans shoes. There is also a layer of india ink wash all over the shoes to give it a more beige color. It’s a bit more beige/tan in person, depending on the lighting. The shoe design is waterproof but i would avoid washing it to often, in case of fading over time. Made to custom order/size.
