A custom bridal heel commission inspired by one of the season's most sought-after vintage Manolo Blahnik styles. The overall direction for this project will focus on soft pastel tones, romantic antique detailing, and the same dreamy atmosphere as your inspiration photo, delicate blues, pale greens, and intricate rococo-inspired textures.
Due to the rarity of the original heel, this custom order will likely involve searching for Manolos of a similar color palette or creating a similar look rather than locating the exact pair.Ā
The plan will be to source a vintage pastel-toned Manolo Blahnik strappy heel or mule in your size, then collaborate with my local cobbler to incorporate antique French rococo fabrics recently sourced. The end result will aim to capture the same soft, collectible, romantic feel as the original inspiration while remaining wearable and beautifully photogenic.

⢠Preferred heel height: kitten heel to mid heel

I purchased a fur shawl for my wedding and I love it! The quality of the piece is perfect and arrived safely in the mail. The shop owner is also communicative and responds to inquiries quickly.
I just received my full length vintage mink coat and it exceeded every expectation!! Itās absolutely gorgeous and in perfect condition, even better than described. Also, such care was taken in packaging it up - the little touches such as being wrapped in a satin ribbon and including care cards and a cedar sachet made this such a luxurious experience. ššš
