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 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.

QUIRK is 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 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! Love love love it!

Ten out of five stars for Melynda and her all volunteer Quirk crew for creating the People's Free Boutique in an unused corner space in DTLA, providing much needed, intentional, and high quality clothing and supplies for those of us who lost everything in LA's January fires. My family and I came to Quirk and were welcomed with care and respect, mirroring the quality and thoughtfulness of the clothing offered, and being given the dignity of choice to dress ourselves in clothing that we prefer. The Quirk crew were professional and kind, dealing with a gradually melting down child and frazzled adults, recognizing and validating the collective trauma of their guests, and providing a space of hope, solace, and care out of the goodness of their hearts. I was able to restock much of my professional and casual wardrobe, grab some high quality toiletries, kids clothing, and an epic penny board for my kid. I cannot recommend a visit to the People's Free Boutique and Melynda's Quirk store on 9th enough!

This store is about as good as it gets when it comes to second-hand, quality, and well known products. I can't speak as much on the women's section, but the men's had a very wide range of styles and brands. From amazing Ralph Lauren denim to classy vintage coats this place has the works. Not only is it a gem for its wares, but the owner of the place is just wonderful. She is nice and will help you find exactly what you're looking for, and maybe even something you didn't even know you needed. My pickups from my first time included a navy Air Force Peacoat, a cashmere v-neck sweater and a pair of that amazing Ralph Lauren denim that I mentioned. I would highly recommend this store to anyone if you are looking for higher end quality and rarity for a fair price. I know that I will definitely be making a return visit sometime soon.

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 love this place! Melynda was super nice and carried a great conversation. We bought a vintage straw purse and vintage sweater tie. This place is very well curated. Wish her and her partner all the best of luck!

I finally walked in after walking by for years when I heard they were in need for volunteers for their donation drive. I'm ashamed I haven't found this store before. The owner is fantastic, she hopped out of a hospital bed and straight to setting up this push to help people. The store, as it's known, on the fourth floor feels like you are thriving with some of the most upbeat staff to aid you find everything you need for woman's clothing, toiletries, and undergarments. On the second is where you can find an almost equal amount of men's, rare to have this ratio in any department store. Kids all the way down to infants, with diapers, and toys. Here you can see volunteers going from room to room sorting through, sizing, and cleaning up donations to stock both floors. Snacks, water, non-perishable food, and a welcome environment has made this a far distinction from digging through a pile of T-shirts on a folding table. My time volunteering here has been exhausting in the best way, the tiredness that comes with knowing you've done good, that your work and presence are valued. I'll continue to be here everyday I can until Melynda gets tired of me saying, "Happy ___day!" We're still here!

Looking for unique style with a personal touch? Look no further than Quirk. From the moment I walked in, I felt like a VIP. The owner, Melynda, is not just a salesperson; she's a magician with fashion. She effortlessly picked out pieces that perfectly suited my taste and body type, creating looks I never imagined possible. The selection of vintage clothing is unparalleled, each piece telling its own story. Whether you're a seasoned vintage lover or a newbie, [Owner's Name] will elevate your wardrobe to new heights. Thank you for the fabulous experience!

My friends and I had a very pleasant and wonderful visit at Quirk. I got these beautiful snake skin shoes with a vintage neck scarf which i also fall in love with. I got compliments from people every time i wear them. I wanted to buy everything when I was there. There are jewelry, scarfs , shoes, dresses and the HATS. The price is very affordable so I was a happy shopper. The next best thing ( or the best ) about Quirk is the shop owner, Melynda. She is friendly and extremely helpful in helping you putting your dream outfits together and giving you advices when you needed them. She makes my shopping experience fun and comfortable. The shop is beautiful. I love the warmth and the openness of the shop. It stands out in the middle of the busy downtown LA streets. I will definitely come back and visit again when I come back to LA.
