A wonderfully graphic pair of turn-of-the-millennium thong sandals in fluorescent coral pink, crisp white, black editorial print, and translucent fuchsia.
The white footbeds and outsoles are covered in fragmented text columns, oversized “Letters” headings, fashion illustrations, and late-1990s date references. Glossy fluorescent pink straps cross over contrasting white toe posts, creating a sharp pop of color against the monochrome print.
One sandal is finished with a darkened metal ring embellishment surrounded by small looped details and translucent pink tassel drops. Sculptural fuchsia kitten heels and contrasting pale-yellow heel-tip caps add another playful layer to the design.
The original underside sticker remains attached and identifies the style as “tongue fluo 5cm,” “Rose fluo,” and size 37, confirming the thong construction, fluorescent pink color, and approximately five-centimeter heel.
Wear them with a black slip dress, white trousers, faded denim, a sharply tailored suit, or a narrow mini skirt. They also work beautifully with graphic prints, silver accessories, saturated pink accents, and compact turn-of-the-millennium bags.

Fit Notes
Marked EU 37 and estimated to best fit a modern women’s US 6/6.5.
The open toe offers some flexibility in overall length. The fixed thong construction, narrow-looking footbeds, and nonadjustable straps may feel closer through the forefoot than a contemporary sandal in the same conversion range.
Approximate modern international equivalents are UK 4/4.5, EU/FR/IT 37, and JP 22.5/23. 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
Good Vintage Condition.
The fluorescent coral-pink straps retain strong color and gloss. Visible wear includes light creasing, surface rubbing, scattered marks, slight discoloration, and minor edge wear consistent with prior use.
The white toe posts show visible surface soiling, rubbing, and age-related discoloration. The printed footbeds retain clear text and illustration details, with grey-toned transfer, scuffing, impressions, surface marks, and localized handling wear around the toes and other high-contact areas.
The coordinating printed outsoles retain most of their graphic surface and show moderate scuffing, scratches, discoloration, edge wear, and localized finish loss. The original size and product sticker remains attached to one outsole.
Both translucent fuchsia heels remain present and appear structurally intact. The heel surfaces show light scratching, clouding, and tonal variation. Both contrasting pale-yellow heel-tip caps remain attached.
A decorative ring-and-tassel embellishment is present on one sandal only. No matching embellishment or clear removal damage is visible on the second sandal, so it cannot be confirmed from the supplied evidence whether the asymmetry was original to the design.
No completely detached strap, obvious sole separation, major visible heel crack, collapsed heel, or other structural failure is visible in the photos. Please review all images closely, particularly the straps, white toe posts, printed surfaces, embellishment, translucent heels, heel tips, and outsole edges.
Styling Notes
Pair these with a black slip dress, crisp white trousers, faded denim, a fitted tank, or a sharply cut mini skirt.
For a stronger turn-of-the-millennium treatment, add tinted eyewear, silver jewelry, a compact shoulder bag, and one intentionally fluorescent accent.
