Description

A beautifully directional pair of vintage Jean-Claude Jitrois pumps in deep black suede.

The silhouette is streamlined and architectural, with a low-cut vamp, tapered soft-square toe, and high sculpted heel. Rather than relying on bows, buckles, or conventional ornament, each shoe is detailed with a vertical row of three round gold-tone buttons stamped Jitrois Paris.

Set against the matte suede, the buttons bring a tailored, almost military precision to the front of the shoes. Their warm finish is echoed inside by luminous metallic-gold leather linings and full Jean-Claude Jitrois Paris labels.

The heels are wrapped in matching black suede, creating a continuous profile from the heel counter through the base. The leather outsoles are marked Made in Italy, European size 36, and with a genuine-leather stamp.

Wear them beneath sharp black tailoring, a fitted knit dress, cigarette trousers, dark denim, or a narrow leather skirt. They are restrained enough to function as a black pump, but distinctive enough to transform the entire look.

Fit Notes

Marked European size 36 and estimated to best fit a modern women’s US 5.5/6, particularly an average-to-narrow foot.

The shoes taper through the forefoot and may feel closer than a rounded contemporary pump. Some of the visible toe length extends beyond the natural toe line and should not be interpreted as entirely usable interior space.

For the strongest fit comparison, check the interior footbed length and widest outsole measurement against a similarly shaped pump already in your wardrobe.

Condition

Good Vintage Condition.

The black suede uppers retain their sculpted shape and rich overall color. Visible wear includes nap variation, gentle creasing, surface rubbing, light dusting, and small marks consistent with age and previous use.

All six gold-tone Jitrois Paris buttons remain present. The hardware shows scratching, darkening, and finish variation, particularly within the recessed lettering and button centers.

The metallic-gold interiors remain striking and clearly branded, with creasing, rubbing, darkening, and areas of finish wear. Fraying and loose fibers are visible around portions of the heel collars, particularly near the back openings.

The matching suede-wrapped heels show light rubbing and nap variation. The leather outsoles display substantial forefoot abrasion and darkening. Both heel tips remain present and show previous use.

No major tears through the suede, missing buttons, broken heel structures, or obvious sole separation are visible in the supplied photographs. Please review all images closely, particularly the suede nap, collar edges, buttons, metallic interiors, leather soles, wrapped heels, and heel tips.

Styling Notes

Pair these with black tuxedo trousers, a sculpted mini dress, cigarette pants, dark denim, or a narrow leather skirt. The gold detailing also works beautifully with antique jewelry, bronze hardware, deep olive, oxblood, and saturated jewel tones.

For a stronger late-1980s reference, style them with a sharp-shouldered jacket and architectural earrings. For something quieter, wear them beneath a long minimal trouser so the branded buttons appear only in movement.

Curation Note

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

Designer and Origin Note

The metallic-gold insoles read Jean-Claude Jitrois Paris and Made in Italy. Each vamp is finished with three gold-tone buttons marked Jitrois Paris.

My experience with Quirk was online. I was in some need of something white to wear that catches the eye, and found something that suited my taste in a few minutes. I had a fun time browsing the site, looking at the selection that was offered, it was fun to see so many bright colors, which is why it was a pleasent surprise for me to find something I felt more comfortable with. I made my purchase online after seeing how the sizes were measured (which was more detailed than most other sites), and felt confident making my choice. After about 10 days it arrived, and it was exactly how I saw it on the site. I really liked the lenght and the feel of it, and it fit me great, I would recommend Quirk for anyone who wants to step up their outfit game.

I have joyfully followed Melynda and Quirk grow over the past year. Every time I get a little extra money I pop in to get a nice something-or-another for myself and leave with much more; life stories, fashion advice, and sometimes coffee. Each time I leave Quirk I look and feel a little smarter. Keep up the excellent work. -DC

I love this boutique! It's clear the owner Melynda has thoughtfully hand-picked and carefully curated an amazing collection of designer vintage and secondhand pieces. She has a fantastic selection of designer shoes and purses, and everything is in A+ condition or is like new! Melynda herself is super personable and always happy to help you find befitting pieces. There's also a superb selection of men's clothes and she has her own original designs for sale as well! So far I've bought two pairs of velvet gloves from her in-house label and I LOVE them! I get tons of compliments whenever I wear them. The designs are so unique, and the quality and construction are top notch. She's even making me a custom pair of pants using the same fabric as the gloves so I can have a matching set to wear to the Dreamstate Festival later this year! Plus there's a $20 sale rack with incredible finds. I highly recommend Quirk if you're looking for unique pieces that are in great condition and well priced, and super customer service 🤗

Upon having dinner in DTLA a friend and I stumbled upon QUIRK, what a treasure of a vintage store. A hidden gem!!! An insider's secret.. but not for long. Loved Melynda's eye for well curated vintage clothing and accessories. Working as a stylist in Films and Editorial, Melynda is defintely on point. Instantly we felt right at home in her inviting shop. From designer to hard to find vintage, its all there. What a happy find!!!

The Staff at The People’s Free Boutique is amazing. These folks make the space come alive and fill it with positive energy and a high level of support. The clothes are well organized by sizes and styles. Learning about the journey that the organizers took to make this boutique a reality was very inspiring to me. I learned that this idea became a reality on January 8th - one day after the fire. This shows the passion, planning, and drive of the staff. I brought home some much needed clothes and more importantly I left a better person with a renewed outlook on community and collaboration.

So thankful for Quirk and their pop up for folks affected from the fires! I've been able to stop by a few times to pick up much needed items after losing my things from the fires. They offer everything from clothing, shoes, hygiene items, accessories, and you'll find a combination of brand new and gently used items. The volunteers are literally the sweetest and most helpful. It genuinely feels like a peaceful, fun, and productive shopping experience. So grateful for quirk and their pop up, strongly recommend.

Went by on a Saturday with my daughter. Melynda was awesome and helpful, as always. We both found things we needed. What I appreciate about Melynda is the personal service and how she honestly cares about if something is "right" for you or not. She actually mended something I had just bought right on the spot (wouldn't let it leave with an almost loose button)! Appreciate her sense of style and will defiantly be headed back.

My mom and I found the Peoples Free Boutique by Quirk after the fires devastated our neighborhood in Altadena. We've been building care boxes for an entire group of people, not just ourselves, and were welcomed into the space. It allowed us to recreate beautiful closets in a safe space, which has become harder to find as the relief efforts continue in the second wave. Very grateful for the energy and dedication that Melynda and her team of volunteers had shown to our community!! Go check out the Peoples Free Boutique on Spring St if you've been impacted by the fires they will help you rebuild and feel fabulous! If you weren't impacted by the fires but want to support Quirk for now you would message Melynda on Instagram to set up a shopping appointment! She's so dedicated to the relief efforts her store is still running by appointment only so she can keep the Free Boutique open! Love them!!!
