The Find: Mid-2000s Giuseppe Zanotti Design, style TAZ 90, still in its original box, the San Mauro Pascoli factory Zanotti acquired before launching under his own name. Metallic silver kid leather cut into the thinnest possible straps, a slim 4.25" stiletto in aqua, and a crystal flower spray running down the T-strap like a piece of vintage costume jewelry. No platform, no bulk, just the Zanotti instinct for building a shoe around an ornament. A wearable piece of the label's early run.
The Details:
- Metallic silver kid leather straps with adjustable ankle buckle
- Crystal flower and pendant ornament running the length of the T-strap
- Aqua leather covered stiletto heel, approximately 4.25"
- Metallic leather-lined footbed with Giuseppe Zanotti Design branding
- Vicini leather sole, Vero Cuoio, Made in Italy
Measurements: IT 37.5 / US 7.5. Approximately 4.25" heel, no platform.
Condition: Good-Fair. See photos.
Authenticity: Guaranteed authentic Giuseppe Zanotti. Verified via the Vicini / Made in Italy / Vero Cuoio sole stamp with size 37½ B, Giuseppe Zanotti Design insole branding, and construction consistent with mid-2000s production from the San Mauro Pascoli factory.
