2000s BCBGMAXAZRIA Taupe Leather Faceted-Stone Lace-Up Flat Sandals, Modern US 7/7.5

Description

A jewelry-forward pair of BCBGMAXAZRIA flat sandals with the ornate, layered detailing associated with 2000s footwear.

Wide taupe-grey leather bands cross the forefoot, each set with oversized faceted clear embellishments that catch the light with a smoky, mirrored finish. Tan woven cord threads through the center of the upper and ties over the vamp, adding soft texture and a slightly utilitarian contrast to the polished stones.

Slim leather straps extend toward adjustable ankle closures, while square open toes and low stacked-look heels keep the silhouette streamlined. Dark taupe footbeds, visible perimeter stitching, and warm brown sole edges complete the tonal construction.

The leather has developed natural variation and visible wear over time. One faceted embellishment is missing from the outer edge of one lower forefoot band and is disclosed clearly in the condition notes.

Wear them with faded denim, a washed silk dress, cropped trousers, a narrow midi skirt, or relaxed summer tailoring. Their combination of muted leather, oversized embellishment, and cord lacing also works beautifully with mixed-metal jewelry and tonal neutral dressing.

Fit Notes

Marked US 7½ M and estimated to best fit a modern women’s US 7/7.5.

The open toe and adjustable ankle buckles provide some flexibility. The woven forefoot cord can be retied to adjust tension over the vamp, but the primary leather bands and square footbed remain fixed. The silhouette appears relatively streamlined and may fit best on a medium or slightly narrower foot.

Approximate modern international equivalents are UK 5/5.5, EU/FR/IT 37.5/38, and JP 23.5/24. These conversions are guidance rather than guaranteed equivalents because fit varies by production period, foot shape, instep height, strap placement, and preferred toe room.

Condition

Good Vintage Condition.

The taupe-grey leather uppers show visible age and prior wear, including surface rubbing, creasing, darkened edges, tonal variation, scattered marks, and areas of discoloration. The primary forefoot bands and side straps remain attached and retain their structure.

The oversized faceted clear embellishments show scattered surface scratching, clouding, and tonal variation. One embellishment is missing from the outer edge of one lower forefoot band, leaving the dark circular attachment area visible. The remaining visible embellishments appear present.

The tan woven cord laces remain attached to both sandals and show light discoloration, handling wear, and minor fraying. Their metal end caps remain present, and the cords appear functional.

The dark taupe footbeds show visible spotting, impressions, rubbing, and discoloration from prior wear. The BCBGMAXAZRIA branding remains legible.

The adjustable ankle straps and buckles remain present. Visible wear includes rubbing and darkening along the straps, creasing near the buckle holes, and age-related tarnish or discoloration to the hardware.

The leather outsoles show walking wear, surface scratching, discoloration, and edge rubbing. The perimeter stitching remains visible, and the low stacked-look heels retain their shape.

No completely detached structural strap, major sole separation, collapsed heel, or other obvious structural failure is visible in the supplied photographs. Please review all images closely, particularly the missing embellishment, leather surfaces, cords, buckles, footbeds, outsole edges, and heels.

Styling Notes

Pair these with a washed silk dress, cropped utility trousers, faded denim, or an airy neutral skirt.

For a stronger 2000s treatment, add an oversized shoulder bag, stacked bangles, softly tinted eyewear, and a fitted tank or draped jersey top.
