Description

A beautifully preserved pair of Italian leather mules in saturated coral orange.

The croc-embossed leather continues across the softly squared footbeds and layered upper straps, creating a richly textured tonal design. Slim bands cross over the forefoot and rise into an angular open framework through the instep, giving the sandals dimension without interrupting their clean slip-on silhouette.

High tapered heels introduce a warm stacked woodgrain effect that balances the vivid leather. The structured proportions, square open toes, citrus palette, and architectural strap placement capture the polished glamour of late-1990s and early-2000s footwear.

The pale leather insoles are marked Managini, Leather Upper, and Made in Italy. The leather outsoles are stamped Vero Cuoio, Suola Made in Italy, and size 38.

Wear them with cream tailoring, dark denim, a narrow black dress, printed silk, or a sharply cut mini skirt. The coral-orange color also works beautifully with turquoise, chocolate brown, lilac, chartreuse, and crisp white.

Fit Notes

Marked EU/IT 38 and estimated to best fit a modern women’s US 7/7.5.

The open toe provides some flexibility in overall length. The fixed layered straps and streamlined footbed may feel closer through the forefoot than a contemporary adjustable sandal.

Approximate modern international equivalents are UK 4.5/5, EU/IT 37.5/38, FR 38.5/39, and JP 24/24.5. These conversions are guidance rather than guaranteed equivalents because fit varies according to maker, production period, foot shape, strap placement, and preferred toe room.

Condition

Excellent Vintage Condition.

The coral-orange leather remains vivid and evenly finished. The croc-embossed texture is crisp throughout the straps and footbeds. Visible signs of age are limited to faint natural creasing, minute surface marks, slight tonal variation, and minimal handling wear.

The pale leather insoles remain exceptionally clean. The Managini branding, leather-upper notation, and Made in Italy markings remain clearly legible.

The leather outsoles show no meaningful walking abrasion. Visible wear is limited to minute surface marks and light handling consistent with storage or brief indoor try-on. The Vero Cuoio, leather-sole, Made in Italy, and size 38 stamps remain sharply visible.

The tapered heels retain strong, even stacked-look surfaces. Both heel tips remain present and show no notable wear. A few minute surface variations are visible upon close inspection.

No detached straps, open seams, sole separation, deep leather cracking, significant discoloration, unstable heel, or other structural failure is visible in the photos. Please review all images closely, particularly the straps, footbeds, heel surfaces, heel tips, and outsoles.

Styling Notes

Pair these with a cream trouser suit, dark denim, a fitted black dress, or a narrow printed skirt.

For a stronger turn-of-the-millennium treatment, add a fitted tank, warm metallic jewelry, tinted eyewear, and a compact shoulder bag.

Curation Note

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

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 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!

What a gem! The People's Free Boutique is such a wonderful idea to bring to the community and the volunteers couldn't be more genuine or friendly to the customers. It is very organized and easy to shop. I am so glad this resource exists.

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 volunteered at The People's Free Boutique while it was still in its temporary space, and I am better for it. It is a wonderful resource, Melynda has been so organized, compassionate, and all around an amazing leader for this huge effort to assist those impacted by the Eaton and Palisades fires. Through some folks' worst days, Melynda and the Quirk team were there. It's amazing that Melynda has kept it up for as long as she has, and I hope the People's Free Boutique can stay open as long as there is a community need.

This is Amazing what Melynda with Quirk has done to help the residents of the LA Fires! She jumped in without hesitation and put her own biz in hold to help others in need. Taking in donations from everyone kindly donating including myself gathering toiletries and rolling racks with the help from the people in my home town Santa Barbara! She created a Free shopping boutique with very stylish clothes , shoes, handbags and also stuff for kids! Also added in Hair and facial services so people can feel good during these trying times! She's amazing and thank you for everything you are doing! You Rock girl!!! Many continued blessings to you!! Patricia

Excellent customer service!!! We walked by coincidentally or by fate after we had given up on finding a costume for a 1900s theme party. We told Melynda (owner/stylist) our story and she quickly dived into finding us something fabulous to wear. My friend and I turned out to be the best dressed at the party. What I loved the most from shopping at Quirk was Melynda's passion for her work as a costumer designer and stylist. Her willingness to help us out is exactly what you expect from any service driven industry. Will definitely be back because the clothes is vintage and original and Melynda is awesome! Thanks again Quirk!

Favorite place to shop. Melynda always has the best treasures and she does custom designs. I bought a vintage dress from her to wear to a Gucci event, and I got soooo many compliments! Go now. This is definitely a must shop place in DTLA .
