Description

A beautifully tailored pair of vintage Prego pumps in a rich cognac-brown finish.

The silhouette borrows selectively from traditional brogue footwear while preserving the clean proportions of a classic court shoe. Each squared, gently tapered toe is finished with a perforated cap and small medallion pattern. Curved perforated panels travel along the outer sides toward the heel counters, bringing another layer of detail to the otherwise streamlined upper.

A low-cut vamp lengthens the line of the foot, while the tall block heel adds height with more visual substance than a narrow stiletto. Dark brown heels and sole edges ground the warm reddish-brown upper.

The pale interiors carry metallic clover emblems and lowercase prego branding.

These work especially well with tailored trousers, dark denim, a pleated midi skirt, a fitted knit dress, or a long coat. The color and perforated detailing also make them a natural fit for academic, equestrian-inspired, and softly androgynous styling.

Fit Notes

The original size and width markings are unavailable.

Based on the photographed proportions, scale within the Quirk accessories shoot, toe-box shape, and structured pump construction, these are estimated to best fit a modern women’s US 9/9.5 with an average-width foot.

The squared toe provides more usable forefoot space than a sharply pointed pump, although the upper remains structured rather than highly flexible.

Condition

Good Vintage Condition.

The cognac-brown uppers retain their structured shape and rich overall color. Visible wear includes gentle creasing, scattered surface scratches, small scuffs, rubbing, and natural tonal variation consistent with age and previous use.

The perforated toe caps remain clearly defined, with small marks, light finish wear, and darkening within some of the brogue perforations. Light wear is also visible around the toe corners and sole edges.

The pale interiors remain intact and clearly branded, with darkening, creasing, small marks, and prior foot impressions.

The dark block heels show rubbing and finish variation. Both heel caps remain present. The outsoles display forefoot abrasion, scratching, darkening, and a small pale area that may be surface loss or old residue.

No major tears through the uppers, broken heel structures, or obvious sole separation are visible in the supplied photographs. Please review all images closely, particularly the toes, perforated detailing, side panels, interiors, heels, heel caps, and outsoles.

Styling Notes

Pair these with wide-leg trousers, cropped wool pants, dark straight-leg denim, a pleated midi skirt, or a fitted knit dress.

For a stronger late-1990s reference, wear them with a narrow trouser suit, long leather coat, or ribbed turtleneck. For a softer academic look, pair them with a midi skirt, fine socks, and an oversized cardigan.

The cognac color works beautifully with charcoal, cream, olive, burgundy, navy, chocolate brown, and faded blue denim.

Curation Note

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

Brand Note

The pale footbeds carry metallic clover emblems and lowercase prego branding. No size, width, material, or country-of-origin marking is visible in the supplied photographs.

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!!!
