Y2K Joan & David Couture Shoes Vaccetta Slingbacks Size 7

$95.00

Brand Poppy's Vintage Clothing

This is a wonderful pair of Joan & David Couture shoes made in a closed-toe sandal slingback style with open strap sides toe box.  These Joan & David Couture shoes have a platform sole and chunky heel, which create a clog-sandal hybrid look. They come with their original box which reads “Lyre natural Vacceta $365” as well as “02/588 Country Col. 321 92 7M”. These came from the estate of a shopaholic who bought much more than she could ever wear, so these saw very little use. 

Maker: Joan & David Couture shoes. Joan and David started their business in 1967 with a target market of working women who had to “run through an airport in heels”. Their strategy was to specialize in elegant shoes that were not high-heeled, for the business woman. 

Color: Brown 

Age:  late 1990s to early 2000s

Material: Vacchetta, which is a natural, Italian vegetable tanned calfskin leather, appreciated for its natural finish, rich patina and softness. 

Sizing: These Joan & David Couture shoes are marked as a size 7 M.  The insoles measure 9 1/4” from the tip of the toe to the very back of the insole. The soles measure 3” in width at the widest. 

Condition: These Joan & David Couture shoes are in very good condition with no wear except for some soiling/wear to the soles, but this is quite minor. Otherwise, these look to have seen very little use and were well cared for over the years.

This is a wonderful quality pair of Joan & David Couture shoes - the Couture line was the highest quality line produced by Joan & David….
