A custom order, searching for the iconic Dior lock-and-key silhouette or a comparable heel. The overall direction will focus on elegant white or light colored heels with the signature Dior hardware.
If the exact Dior heel shown in the inspiration photos is unavailable, sourcing will prioritize heels that closely align in aesthetic, quality, silhouette, and overall feel, with custom embellishment added as needed to achieve a similar look.
CUSTOM ORDER DETAILS
Size: US 9 (Regular Width)
Heel Height: Mid Heel (2–3.5”)
Color Palette: White or Blue & White
Preferred Details: Bow Embellishment & Lock/Key Hardware
Designer Tier: Luxury Designers (Christian Dior, Manolo Blahnik, Prada, Jimmy Choo & More)
SOURCING PROCESS
• The initial 3–4 options will be sent within 24 hours of purchase.
• This custom listing includes constant monitoring of resale platforms, designer resale sites, auction houses, private seller listings, and newly listed inventory.
• Up to 8 options will be presented if neede, sourcing is collaborative and will be refined based on feedback.
• If the exact Dior lock-and-key heel does not become available, sourcing will focus on finding the closest possible match in silhouette, quality, and overall aesthetic.
• If no sourced options feel right, a refund in the form of store credit will be issued. Store credit may be applied toward another custom heel order, an in-stock heel, or a future winter fur purchase.
• Standard turnaround is approximately 2–4 weeks, though sourcing may take longer depending on rarity and availability. Your deadline will be respected.
PRICING NOTES
• The flat fee includes all sourcing time, the heels themselves, any agreed-upon detailing or embellishment work, restoration if needed, and gift packaging.
Please note that vintage designer inventory is constantly changing and availability can never be guaranteed. The goal will always be to source a heel that captures the same romantic, collectible feel as the Dior inspiration while remaining beautiful, wearable, and entirely one-of-a-kind.
