The story

Why we picked it
I was drawn to this pair for the quiet authority that only Prada's Italian ateliers could produce - a 3.5cm kitten heel just grounded enough to wear all day, with a gold buckle thong strap that reads as effortless rather than ornate. The Made in Italy provenance and the precision of the leather construction are what sealed it for the Foundry archive. Pieces at this heel height from this house are increasingly rare in smaller European sizes, and this one carries its wear with genuine dignity.

A true archival find, this Prada SS1997 platform sandal heel arrives as a standout piece for collectors who chase runway-era design. Few examples of this specific season surface on the resale market, making this a rare opportunity for the Prada devotee.

Rendered in a red floral design, these platform sandals carry the sculptural silhouette Prada was known for in this period. The pair is offered in fair pre-owned condition, reflecting genuine wear consistent with a shoe of this age and history.

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.
