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.

Authenticity Note

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.
