Description

A striking pair of vintage Casadei slingback pumps in gunmetal metallic ribbed textile.

Fine diagonal ridges travel continuously across the uppers and slingback straps, creating a sculptural surface that shifts between pewter, silver, charcoal, and subtle bronze-toned highlights as the light changes. The dimensional texture gives the shoes depth without relying on additional ornamentation.

Softly tapered almond toes balance the open slingback construction, while slim black heels sharpen the silhouette. The narrow heel straps include elasticized sections that create a clean line around the back of the foot.

Black interiors retain their white Casadei Made in Italy labels. The smooth black outsoles are stamped Casadei, Vero Cuoio, and Made in Italy, confirming Italian production and leather sole construction.

The metallic finish works beautifully as an evening neutral, while the restrained shape makes the pair equally convincing with tailoring or denim. Wear them with black trousers, a bias-cut dress, a narrow midi skirt, or a softly draped knit.

Fit Notes

The manufacturer size and width are not visible or otherwise available.

The size is unmarked; a reliable modern size estimate is not available. The tapered toe, fitted vamp and narrow slingback shape may give a close fit.

The heel straps appear to include elasticized sections and may offer limited flexibility.

Condition

Very Good Vintage Condition.

The metallic textile retains strong overall color, reflectivity, and ribbed definition. Visible wear includes light surface handling, subtle tonal variation, faint rubbing around the toes and side edges, and minor fiber lift or fraying along portions of the toplines and slingback straps.

The black interiors show light age-related wear and handling. Both white Casadei labels remain present and legible.

The black leather outsoles show moderate forefoot scratching, abrasion, and finish wear while retaining clear Casadei, Vero Cuoio, and Made in Italy stamps. Both heel tips remain attached and show visible use.

No major textile tear, extensive metallic finish loss, sole separation, collapsed heel, or structural failure is visible in the photos. Please review all images closely, particularly the toe edges, slingback straps, heel tips, interiors, and outsoles.

Styling Notes

Treat the gunmetal finish as a neutral. Pair these with black cigarette trousers, a satin midi skirt, dark denim, a narrow cocktail dress, or a softly tailored suit.

The metallic texture also works beautifully with charcoal, midnight blue, oxblood, plum, cream, and understated silver-tone jewelry.

Curation Note

Each Quirk piece is hand selected by our team for quality, construction, styling potential, and point of view.

I worked with Melynda on a professional photoshoot for my company and ever since then I have been going to her store. Such a great way to change up my style and find new unique items. I am a proud owner of a vintage Italian suit and have even rented a gown for a special event. Always looking for her insight when shopping there.

I appreciate what Quirk is doing and helping restoring the lives of those affected by the fires!!! It's always a humbling experience to give back to the community and receive services. Melinda (even tho' I'm so spelling her name wrong lol sorry) is always a cup of joy and so supportive. You are such a gem along with your team. I look forward to watching the free peoples boutique grow along with quirk. Thank you once again and words can never describe what an impact you have shown towards myself, family, friends and community.

I have joyfully followed Melynda and Quirk grow over the past year. Every time I get a little extra money I pop in to get a nice something-or-another for myself and leave with much more; life stories, fashion advice, and sometimes coffee. Each time I leave Quirk I look and feel a little smarter. Keep up the excellent work. -DC

Quirk is a great place to rent or buy unique clothing. Melynda has curated such a great variety of items. I rented a gorgeous gown for a work event and bought multiple things including a vintage Italian suit that I get complimented on all the time. It is a wonder place to discover and elevate your personal style.

It was my 2nd or 3rd time browsing the site, and my first time purchasing from it. I was familiar with the site and brand (was recommended by a close friend of mine who has good taste), and decided to check it out. I liked the layout of the site, made it pretty easy to look for what I like, and found what I wanted in like 4 minutes after browsing. Paying was straightforward, I received the package in about 10 days (flat fee for shipping), and it fit pretty well. The shirt fit me well, and I liked the length of it which was longer than typical shirts, I appreciated the minimalism of it. All in all, a great purchase! 5 stars.

I volunteered at The People's Free Boutique while it was still in its temporary space, and I am better for it. It is a wonderful resource, Melynda has been so organized, compassionate, and all around an amazing leader for this huge effort to assist those impacted by the Eaton and Palisades fires. Through some folks' worst days, Melynda and the Quirk team were there. It's amazing that Melynda has kept it up for as long as she has, and I hope the People's Free Boutique can stay open as long as there is a community need.

I had the pleasure of stumbling upon Quirk fairly recently and I am most certainly delighted I found this little gem! Located on a busy downtown street, its colorful, unique vintage items are arranged and merchandised well! For a small space, a diverse range of eclectic items will most certainly entice you! Trust me, ya won't leave without buying a little keeper! I love the Seven 4 all Mankind Tight pencil skirt I found and I have some items on hold I can't wait to get! The Owner/Stylist, Melynda is an absolute doll, and a pleasure to chat with as you browse the items, If you are a vintage fanatic or Fashionista, check this place out! Tiny but lots of little treasures that are reasonably priced!

I volunteered at Quirk all afternoon today, and there is so much love and support alive in that space. They are overwhelmed with so many incredible donations and every single thing is being sorted and placed directly into the free shop where fire victims can come shop and get what they need. All items are the same quality you would find in a thrift store like Buffalo Exchange. There were volunteers helping people find clothing items that fit and served their needs while they’re grappling with the loss of their homes and belongings. There are so many ways fire victims need support and this is one of them! Thank you Quirk and the other amazing organization and businesses stepping up to help our community!

I had such a wonderful time at Quirk. As someone who has never been to a fashion district and who has never been styled before, I hadn't extraordinary time getting to know my own sense of fashion. Melynda was so dope and helpful. She helped style me and gave me a new fresh look. I ended up buying something off of the $20 rack so she has affordable options as well. Definitely coming back again for my next shopping trip!
