the Sam | custom designer listing

A custom listing for a vintage designer bridal heel in an EU size 37, with flexibility to consider a half size down for slingback styles depending on fit, focused on finding something colorful, intricate, and distinct for the wedding day.

The search will especially prioritize René Caovilla and Manolo Blahnik, with a strong preference for vintage pairs that feel ornate, romantic, and highly detailed. Other luxury designers including Jimmy Choo, Prada, and more may also be considered where the design closely aligns with the overall vision.

The overall direction is colorful and decorative rather than minimal, with particular attention to beading, embroidery, floral appliqué, intricate embellishment, and richly detailed finishes. Color is very open, with the primary preference simply being no black. Plain or minimally detailed heels will not be prioritized.

SOURCING DETAILS

  • Size: EU 37, with flexibility to consider approximately EU 36.5 in slingback styles depending on brand and fit

  • Heel Height: Kitten heel, approximately 1–2.5 inches

  • Preferred Designers: René Caovilla and Manolo Blahnik, with Jimmy Choo, Prada, and other luxury designers considered secondarily

  • Color Palette: Open to colorful options; no black

  • Preferred Details: Beading, embroidery, floral appliqué, intricate embellishment, colorful detailing, and decorative textures

  • Silhouette: Heel strap required; ankle strap preferred; no mules

  • Budget: $195–$495

SOURCING NOTES

  • The first 2–3 options will be presented within 1 business day of purchase.

  • Up to 8 total sourcing options are included.

  • The typical sourcing timeline is 2–6 weeks, although particularly rare specifications may require additional time. Your deadline will be honored.

  • All options will be sourced specifically around the preferences outlined above, with flexibility within the vintage market.

PRICING NOTES

  • The flat fee covers the sourcing service, the selected vintage designer heels, minor repairs or fit modifications when applicable, detailing when applicable, and gift wrapping. No additional fees. 

  • If the vintage market is exhausted and none of the presented options are approved, store credit equal to the full purchase value will be issued. This store credit may be applied toward future custom orders, heels currently in stock, vintage autumn outerwear, or genuine fur available during the winter season.

PLEASE NOTE

The vintage market is finite and unpredictable, and finding the right pair means locating a rare combination of size, color, heel height, silhouette, material, and condition. A bit of flexibility and trust in the sourcing and customization process is most appreciated and will help bring your vision to life.

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.
