The story

Why we picked it
I pulled these Cavalli heels because they represent exactly the kind of maximalist bravado that defined early 2000s runway excess - few houses did ornament quite like Cavalli at that moment. The enamel and rhinestone snake motif is genuinely sculptural work, not mere decoration, and the layering of iridescent leather against a leopard print footbed is a confident collision of patterns that only Cavalli could make feel cohesive. The patina here is honest and earned, which for a piece this theatrical only deepens the appeal.

A masterclass in early 2000s maximalism, these Roberto Cavalli heels are pure theatrical glamour. Ornate enamel and rhinestone embellishments depicting a snake and flower motif command the front of the shoe, anchored by three supportive straps and a silver buckle ankle wrap.

Crafted from grey and off-white iridescent snake pattern leather with a leopard print fabric footbed, these heels sit on a suede sole and rise to a confident 4.5 inch heel. Marked size 36.5 with a footbed measuring just over 9 inches in length, they show the expected patina of vintage wear with scuffing to the soles and heel caps, a couple of missing rhinestones, and minimal overall surface wear that only adds to their storied character.
