Mocassins homme JEAN MICHEL CAZABAT velours bordeaux cristal clouté Italie 42/US 9

Works of art for the feet: Luxury footwear designer Jean-Michel Cazabat* handmade pair of burgundy velvet loafers, embedded with a array of sparkling, twinkling rhinestones. The velvet has an almost iridescent quality, depending on how the light hits it. The back of the heel is adorned with a vertical strip of dark brown patent leather--a gorgeous touch. Handmade in Italy about 15 years ago, the slip-on shoes were named, "Rudolph" (was it after Nureyev, Valentino or the Reindeer?) I would opt for a riff on "The Ruby Slippers." The almond-toed loafers also feature leather insoles and outsoles, with a wooden heel. Showing minimal wear, the shoes are in exquisite pre-owned condition. Shoe Measurements: Sole: 11 7/8" L x 4" W Heel: 1"H *About Jean-Michel Cazabat, from his website: Jean-Michel Cazabat is a New York based shoe designer with over 25 years of experience in the luxury footwear market.
