Charming Cherub Vintage

katie | custom designer heel

katie | custom designer heel

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. 

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.

CUSTOM ORDER DETAILS
• US size 10.5-11 regular width
• Preferred heel height: kitten heel to mid heel
• Preferred palette: pastel blues, greens & soft romantic tones
• Designer tier: luxury designers (Manolo Blahnik, Prada, Jimmy Choo & more)

SOURCING PROCESS
• Within 24 hours of listing purchase, you will receive your first 3-4 sourcing options
• The sourcing process is collaborative, refining options together until the perfect pair is found. Up to 12-15 options will be presented if needed.
• This purchase includes constant monitoring across all resale platforms, auction platforms, and vintage designer inventory.
• Antique French rococo fabrics may be incorporated into the final design with the help of my trusted cobbler.
• In the event that no option is approved by the customer, a refund will be issued in the form of store credit.

This mink coat is a dream! Ari was so attentive in understanding what I wanted and sourcing the perfect fur for me. It’s full length, a gorgeous dark brown color, and in pristine condition. It came right on time for Valentine’s Day and a snowstorm. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Not only was my custom fur absolutely perfect and fit like a glove, but the entire experience was truly 10/10. The seller was incredibly communicative and genuinely invested in bringing my vision to life. Sourcing and shipping were impressively fast, which meant I could still wear my fur this season — such a win! The packaging was thoughtful and beautifully curated, showing so much care in every detail. This was hands down the best experience I’ve had with a vintage source, and I will absolutely be repurchasing from Charming Cherub.
