Description

A sharply sculpted pair of true mid-century pumps in deep teal-blue suede, finished with metallic turquoise leather trim.

The elongated pointed toes, low curved vamps, and slender stiletto heels create the precise, attenuated line associated with late 1950s and early 1960s footwear. Each shoe features a d’Orsay-style opening along the inner arch, balancing the fitted outer quarter with a flash of exposed foot.

Metallic blue leather follows the toplines and continues into geometric panels at the sides, creating a cool tonal contrast against the softly textured suede. Silver-toned interiors add another reflective element, while the natural leather soles and narrow heel stems preserve the refined construction of the period.

These are beautifully suited to narrow trousers, a fitted cocktail dress, a pencil skirt, or a sharply tailored suit. Their deep petrol-blue palette also works especially well with silver jewelry, charcoal, navy, bottle green, and black.

Fit Notes

The faint interior marking appears to read US 7½ B. Based on the period, narrow last, sharply tapered toe box, fitted topline, and non-adjustable construction, the pair is estimated to best fit a modern women’s US 6.5/7 with a narrow foot.

The elongated point extends beyond the usable interior foot length and should not be treated as functional toe room. The suede upper and d’Orsay-style inner opening provide some accommodation through the arch, but the forefoot and outer quarter remain structured.

Approximate modern international equivalents are UK 3.5/4, EU and IT 36.5/37, FR 37.5/38, and JP 23.5/24. These conversions are guidance rather than guaranteed equivalents because fit varies according to foot shape, forefoot width, toe length, instep height, and preferred fit.

Condition

Good Vintage Condition.

The deep teal suede uppers retain their sculpted shape and overall color, with visible variation to the nap, scattered marks, surface rubbing, and areas of flattening or darkening from age and prior wear. Light wear is visible around the pointed toes and lower edges.

The metallic turquoise leather trim remains attached around both shoes. It shows creasing, rubbing, scuffing, edge wear, and localized finish loss along the toplines and geometric side panels.

The silver-toned interiors show substantial age and wear, including foot impressions, rubbing, discoloration, finish loss, and yellow-green tonal variation. The original maker information is no longer clearly legible. A faint size and width marking remains visible.

The natural leather outsoles show substantial walking wear, darkening, surface abrasion, edge rubbing, and wear at the pointed toe tips. The exposed sole edges show finish loss and uneven coloration.

The slender heel stems remain upright and retain their shape. Their coverings show rubbing, finish loss, and exposed brown-toned areas. The heel tips remain present but show visible use and should be inspected before wear.

No major sole separation, completely detached trim, collapsed heel, or other obvious structural break is visible in the supplied photographs. Please review all images closely, particularly the suede nap, metallic trim, silver-toned interiors, pointed toe edges, leather soles, heel coverings, and heel tips.

Styling Notes

Pair these with cigarette trousers, a fitted cocktail dress, a narrow midi skirt, or a sharply tailored suit.

For tonal styling, combine them with navy, petrol blue, bottle green, charcoal, silver, or black. A compact evening bag and sculptural silver jewelry will echo the metallic trim without overwhelming the silhouette.

Curation Note

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

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.

Best selection of curated designer vintage clothing in LA. Maybe even on the west coast. Great prices. Great quality. I’ve had pieces for years. Great customer service and styling advice to boot.

I volunteered at Quirk all afternoon today, and there is so much love and support alive in that space. They are overwhelmed with so many incredible donations and every single thing is being sorted and placed directly into the free shop where fire victims can come shop and get what they need. All items are the same quality you would find in a thrift store like Buffalo Exchange. There were volunteers helping people find clothing items that fit and served their needs while they’re grappling with the loss of their homes and belongings. There are so many ways fire victims need support and this is one of them! Thank you Quirk and the other amazing organization and businesses stepping up to help our community!

I've been coming to Quirk for years now. Some of my favorite pieces have come from her shop and I always get compliments. It's the perfect place to get something unique that not everyone has. Top quality items. One of my first pieces I bought from her is a vintage Armani blazer that has become a regular staple piece for me. Still in my rotation years later :) The shopping experience itself is always a treat (coming from someone who doesn't like shopping). Melynda is super welcoming and helpful if you're looking for something in particular. If she doesn't have it, it's likely she will soon, as she's regularly getting new inventory. Also, be sure to check out her shopping events!

This is the cutest store with a really well curated selection. Makes sense because the owner is a renowned stylist who has worked here and abroad. 10/10 recommend.

Quirk for Fire Vicitms has been such a special place for me. I have found wonderful clothes to get myself started after losing my home in Pacific Palisades. The boutique is clean, organized and the volunteers are so kind and helpful. Melinda who runs has become my friend and I have run into other friends who lost their homes and met many new ones. 5 stars plus another 5 stars

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.

I had a really good experience at Quirk. Its located in DTLA which is known to give you headaches with parking. Luckily there were several fairly priced garage options on the same block. The shop is located on the second floor of this cool, early 20th century style building. I love vintage buildings so I was hyped before I even stepped into Quirk. But once inside I was really digging the vibes. They have a really selection of vintage, modern clothes for women and men. With assistance of the curator, Melynda, I was able to grab a few items for an upcoming headshot session. I didn't have to break the bank as the items I purchased were from a $20 rack. I will def go again. I highly recommend checking it out.
