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.

A modern size estimate should be established using the usable interior footbed length, full outsole length, and widest outsole measurement. The tapered toe, fitted vamp, and narrow slingback construction should be considered when interpreting the completed measurements.

The heel straps appear to include elasticized sections and may offer limited flexibility. Their current stretch and recovery should be assessed in hand. No letter width should be assigned without a readable marking or supporting measurements.

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 supplied photographs. 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

Designer items are reviewed before being brought to market. Quirk takes authenticity seriously, and the sale of counterfeit goods is illegal. Any included third-party authentication paperwork will be noted clearly.

I cannot say enough glowing words about Quirk. It's the absolute best. I've come several times since 2020 and they never miss. Melynda is a top-tier curator. All her pieces feel hand-picked with thought, care, and a keen eye for taste and style. It's easy to find a great deal here: I've found a vintage Dior wallet at Quirk, as well as multiple outfits for red carpets, premieres, photoshoots, and day-to-day wear. She keeps prices super fair and reasonable while knowing her stuff when it comes to true vintage, designer, and quality. I always know I'm getting my money's worth. As a stylist, Melynda is a true treat and I highly recommend working with her. Whether it's working on a tight budget and creating 15-30 looks from vintage pieces, or an expanded budget that can pull from showrooms and designer pieces, or even creating a custom piece--Melynda knows how to meet the needs of every budget and occasion and go above and beyond. She puts in the work when it comes to event research and advocates for a client's personal taste. She has styled high-profile clients and costumed network television shows--it's hard to find someone who knows more about true vintage and eras than Melynda! As someone who loves vintage shopping, thrifting, and flea/artist/vintage markets, I'm always looking for vendors and stores, and Quirk is one of those special places where you can tell vintage is a real passion, not just a place to make a quick buck on a Tiktok trend (though you can definitely find super trendy pieces here too!). At Quirk, I'd say clothes are treated like found treasure looking for their forever home! I come back again and again because the pieces are fun and always changing. As a store owner, Melynda is friendly, knowledgable, and is great at offering styling advice for each customer's unique taste. She keeps such a positive shopping atmosphere in the store. I'll always keep returning!

My friend and I were exploring the fashion district and came across this place and it is a total gem! Some very interesting timeless pieces that were super fun too look through and such a friendly vibe. Shoutout to the lady working there, I believe it was Malinda, she was so friendly and I had such a good time talking with her! She is so passionate and stylish and her friendliness and love for fashion is what makes me love LA! Certainly must visit if your in the area!!!!

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.

As an enthusiast of cool articles of clothing from from then to now and back again, I discovered a gem in dtla called Quirk! Co-owner Melynda always creates the best experience whenever I stop by...much like like visiting a friend and unlike some vintage shops there's always something new in rotation. Do yourself a favor folks and stop by!

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.

Great vintage shop in Downtown! With all the new vintage stores popping up around LA these days, Quirk really stands out with having unique, high quality items that are personally curated by the owner, Melynda, who is also a professional stylist and costume designer. Most vintage shops these days are just filled with XXL 80s/90s shirts, and overpriced jeans. Quirk has one-of-a-kind items that have made me a return customer. Most recent purchases were a 1970s YSL handbag and kimono jacket that always get me compliments when I wear them out.
