The story

Why we picked it
I was drawn to these Casadei heels for the way the corset lace-up detail elevates what could have been a straightforward patent stiletto into something with genuine narrative weight. The Italian construction - full leather lining, resoled with no damage to the uppers - speaks to a standard of making that is increasingly rare to find in this category of vintage footwear. The slightly tacky patent surface is characteristic of aged high-gloss leather and, to my eye, only adds to the period authenticity.

These Casadei platform stilettos bring a bold, vintage glam rock energy to formal and clubwear styling alike, crafted from black patent leather that channels an unmistakable 80s and 90s edge. The corset-style lace-up closure runs along the design, adding a provocative, structured detail that sets these heels apart from standard pointed-toe pumps.

An ultra-high stiletto heel paired with a half-inch platform gives the shoe dramatic height, while the pointed toe keeps the overall silhouette sharp and elongated. Made in Italy with a full leather lining and insole, the construction reflects genuine quality beneath the eye-catching patent finish. These heels suit a wide range of occasions, from weddings and formal events to festivals and nights out dancing.

Sized EU 36, these correspond to a US Women's 6, UK 4, and AU 6.

WHY VINTAGE?

It Already Exists

Vintage isn’t “produced” it’s rediscovered.
Choosing vintage reduces waste, overproduction, and the environmental cost of creating something new.

Quality You Can Feel

Most vintage was made with heavier fabrics, real hardware, and craftsmanship that’s rare today.
It’s why these pieces last decades, not seasons.

Style With a Story

Vintage means no mass drops, no repeats, no algorithms deciding what you wear.
Each piece is one-of-a-kind which is why it is so special.
