Description

A sharply composed pair of vintage A Line Anne Klein mules in saturated orange with a softly napped, suede-textured surface.

Two wide straps cross the foot on opposing diagonals, creating a sculptural opening through the center. The squared open toe gives the pair a clean architectural line, while the substantial black heel adds contrast and visual weight.

The design is simple in the best way. There is no hardware, overt branding, or decorative excess. The color, asymmetrical cut, and strong block heel do all the work.

White insoles carry the A Line Anne Klein name, while the outsoles are clearly marked Made in Italy, 7½, and M. The slip-on construction keeps the pair easy, but the bold orange and black combination gives them considerably more presence than an ordinary mule.

Wear them with a black column dress, cropped trousers, dark indigo denim, a bias-cut skirt, or a tonal look in rust and cream. They also work beautifully against chocolate brown, olive, violet, cobalt, or a print that picks up the orange.

Fit Notes

Marked women’s US 7.5 M and best suited to a modern US 7.5 medium-width foot.

The open toe allows some flexibility in toe placement, but fit through the asymmetrical straps will depend on foot volume and instep height. The pair should work best for an average-width foot with a low-to-average instep.

For additional fit confidence, compare the footbed length and clearance beneath the upper strap with a similarly shaped mule already in your wardrobe.

Condition

Very Good Vintage Condition.

The orange uppers retain strong, even color and a soft napped texture, with light surface variation and gentle wear consistent with age. The white insoles show visible creasing, fine age lines, light marks, and wear around the strap openings, while the black outsoles show scratching and abrasion concentrated at the forefeet.

The block heels remain visually straight, and both heel tips are present. No major tears, broken stitching, severe discoloration, or obvious sole separation are visible in the photos. Please review all images closely, particularly the insoles, strap attachments, outsole toes, and heel tips.

Styling Notes

Let the shoes provide the color in an otherwise restrained outfit. Pair them with black tailoring, a cream slip dress, dark denim, a chocolate-brown skirt, or a minimal knit set.

For a more saturated approach, style them with cobalt, violet, hot pink, tomato red, or a print containing warm orange accents.

Curation Note

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

Quirk is the kind of place you walk into and immediately feel like you've inherited the wardrobe of a rich, eccentric aunt who traveled the world and kept all the best pieces. Every rack feels intentional, lived in, and full of personality. Nothing feels random. Each item has a story, and you can sense it the moment you start browsing. The bag selection alone is worth the stop. There are so many standout pieces that feel like true finds, not just resale. The kind of bags you don't see twice. What really makes this place special is the owner, Melynda. She's genuinely fun to talk to and clearly passionate about what she curates. You can tell there's pride and care behind every piece in the shop. Talking with her about vintage fashion and the stories behind the items made the experience feel personal, not transactional. This ended up being one of the coolest spots I stumbled into in the fashion district. If you appreciate vintage that feels curated and soulful rather than picked over, Quirk is a must.

Melynda totally saved the day! She came on a magical unicorn and brought me my dress! I was searching for a dress for a wedding that went with their Great Gatsby theme and was totally not sure where to begin and what to wear. She helped me find a necklace and a dress here at the shop that was absolutely perfect! I got a gold and gunmetal tassel necklace and a robin egg's blue lace Tracy Reese dress. She was even kind enough to alter the shoulders for me since the wedding was the day of! They even had a funny wedding card that for the bride and groom! Mission accomplished, now just have to get a scarf or headpiece for my head to complete the theme and Melynda gave me some tips!! Will be back for next time when I need her expertise. They have an always shifting collection of curated vintage and new clothing. Love Quirk LA!

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 had a really good experience at Quirk. Its located in DTLA which is known to give you headaches with parking. Luckily there were several fairly priced garage options on the same block. The shop is located on the second floor of this cool, early 20th century style building. I love vintage buildings so I was hyped before I even stepped into Quirk. But once inside I was really digging the vibes. They have a really selection of vintage, modern clothes for women and men. With assistance of the curator, Melynda, I was able to grab a few items for an upcoming headshot session. I didn't have to break the bank as the items I purchased were from a $20 rack. I will def go again. I highly recommend checking it out.

I am such a shop-aholic at her store. I love her dresses and shoes. The owner always put a great story behind every outfit and whom she did her work. The owner, Melynda is AMAZING Stylist in the business. Her work is ABSOLUTELY amazing and her dog Prudence who comes into the store makes the vibe very loving and friendly. I pretty much spend my entire paycheck coming to this store. Very tempting and I always come out with the hottest looks at her store.

The owner/stylist here is so great!! We found this place on Yelp and it was our first stop to find a vintage 20s style outfit. We found 2 great dresses and the perfect hat! The prices are very reasonable too.

Quirk is WONDERFUL! Small but mighty, always new and exciting finds, plus the real deal when it comes to fashion and expression. Owned by a stylist/awesome fashionista, with a passion and drive that offers the best experience in vintage shopping. I got the most gorgeous silk blouse...and some shoes that fit me like Cinderella! If you live in Los Angeles, you know how hard it is to find awesome vintage at a reasonable price. From the fight over Dior at a thrift store, to the snobby and over priced 'bo-ho' Buffalo Exchange, to the trendy and overly pretentious places on Melrose-it's just another face in the crowd, on the scene. It's more comfortable and personable at Quirk. You get the deals, yeah-but the experience is worth more!

Bright and open! Music playlist on point. Fun clothing selections and a $20 sale rack! Bought a designer Italian men’s blazer for $20. Melynda knows how to take good care of her customers.

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 have volunteered at the Fire Relief Free Boutique founded by Melynda for over a month and the whole experience has been amazing, I have seen people affected by the fires leaving the free boutique with a smile on their face after the free shopping experience, that’s something that fulfills the soul. Melynda is a great leader with a big heart, I’m proud to be part of this beautiful project.
