This would be great displayed in a young dancer's bedroom or in a ballet studio.
In very good vintage condition (never worn), slippers are slightly flat (the toe was stuffed for the photo). Box shows some signs of age,

An amazing glimpse into women's beauty care from 100 years ago.

The case has a faux brown leather exterior with a rose-colored fabric interior. It folds up into a small traveling case. The pieces are held in place by two adjustable fabric straps.
In good vintage condition for its age, the set may be missing a piece or two and a couple of pieces are not from the original set. The interior fabric shows some wear. One small container has a cracked top. Some minor stains on the case exterior. Some tools have some tarnish and/or spots.
