The Find: Giuseppe Zanotti built his name on exactly this: a plain, perfect silhouette used as a setting for jewelry. Black silk satin, a concealed platform, and a T-strap made entirely of an Art Deco brooch in pavé crystal and ruby-red baguettes, shaped like a 1920s bow with a drop pendant. This is from the house's late 2000s to early 2010s run, when the hidden-platform peep toe was Zanotti's signature evening shoe and the crystal-ornament styles were the ones pulled for red carpet and editorial. Handmade in Italy, and it comes with the original Giuseppe dust bag.
The Details:
- Black silk satin upper, peep toe with a concealed platform
- Art Deco crystal T-strap ornament: pavé stones with ruby-red baguette insets, bow motif with drop pendant
- Adjustable satin ankle strap with silver-tone buckle
- Black leather lining, gold leather insole with Giuseppe Zanotti branding
- Slim covered stiletto heel
- Vero Cuoio leather sole, Made in Italy
- Original Giuseppe Zanotti satin dust bag included
Measurements: IT 39 / US 9. Approximately 4.5" heel with a concealed platform, so the effective pitch is lower than the height suggests.
Condition: Very good. Uppers, satin, and crystal ornament are all clean with every stone intact and secure. Wear is limited to the leather soles, which show scuffing and darkening from use, normal for a leather-soled Italian heel
Authenticity: Guaranteed authentic Giuseppe Zanotti. Verified via the Vero Cuoio Made in Italy sole stamp with size 39, the Giuseppe signature logo on the sole and insole, branded gold insole, construction quality, and the original signature dust bag.
