The relevance of this is to be found a while later in L0pe de Vega’s La Dorotea. Published in 1632, 65 years before Perrault, it recreates the author’s passionate and disastrous fling with actress Elena Osorio in the early 1580s and has the heroine worrying of having to trade in her amber slippers for crudely bound sandals (“Si don Bela quiere, tú verás estos pies que celebrabas trocar las zapatillas de ámbar en groseras sandalias de cordeles”). The first edition of Perrault's stories contained illustrations, but I could not find out if there was any of them displaying Cendrillon/Cinderella 's "pantoufles de verre". Though Hugh Rawson in his "Devious Derivations" (1994)correctly signals that the glass slippers cannot have been born from a mistranslation from French to English, he does not really solve the riddle how "vair" became "verre". My own preferred hypothesis is that Perrault "mis-understood" the oral version of an existing folktale. But who can prove that it was not just a stroke of genius: Perrault sensing that a "glass" slipper had infinitely more poetic potential than the obsolete "fur slipper", and consciously re-shaping this detail?

Care Instructions】Hand wash or machine washable perfectly.You can easily wash and dry them to keep them clean and fresh. The standard explanation for Cinderella's famous footwear is that it is the result of a mistranslation, someone having mistaken pantoufle de vair, fur slipper, for pantoufle de verre, glass slipper, when making an English version of Charles Perrault's Histoires ou contes du temps passé avec des moralités (1697).

I'm not entirely convinced. The fact that the Grimm bros. have "golden slippers" resonates with de Chateaubriand's observation that only knights "avaient le droit de porter ... l'or, le vair, l'hermine, le petit-gris, le velours, l'écarlate" ("had the right to wear gold, vair, ermine, gray squirrel fur, velvet, scarlet"). Note that "glass" is not on the list (though in fairness, I guess that glass was also a luxury item in medieval times). And I wonder what the collection date of the Catalan, Irish and Scottish versions is. I believe that there has been much more diffusion of folk tale details in recent centuries than is commonly assumed. Unless the other versions are from the era of 1700 -- which seems unlikely, since the collection of such tales was more typically a late 18th or 19th-century activity -- it seems as just as likely that Perrault's invention spread to other cultures as that there was a common pre-Perrault source for the idea of "glass slippers".

this seems to be a case of erudition run wild. Balzac's and Littré's (a nineteenth-century man of letters, author of an important dictionary), to be precise. They stipulated the verre/vair confusion. But "pantouffles de verre" (though in various spellings) are in Perrault's tale, and also in Catalan, Irish and Scottish versions. The Grimm brothers' has golden slippers -- not much better than glass, I'd think, to dance in all night. Wikipedia tells me that there are over 400 versions from all over the world, the oldest from China. Claim: Cinderella's slippers were made of fur in the original versions of the fairy tale, but they became glass slippers in later versions as the result of a mistranslation.
