the val | custom designer listing

A custom listing for a vintage designer bridal heel in a US size 7–7.5, with a regular fit, focused on finding something dainty, whimsical, and romantic with an especially delicate vintage feel.

The search will prioritize Manolo Blahnik, with particular inspiration drawn from vintage Antoinette Manolos, while also considering other luxury designers including Jimmy Choo, Prada, and more.

The preferred palette will center around soft mauve and light green, with touches of light blue incorporated as a subtle “something blue.” Light pink may also be considered where it complements the overall palette without overpowering the mauve and green direction.

The overall vision is feminine and detailed, with a focus on kitten heels, delicate embellishment, floral detailing, embroidery, satin, bows, appliqué, and other whimsical vintage elements that capture the romantic feel of the inspiration while remaining unique to the pair sourced.

SOURCING DETAILS

  • Size: US 7–7.5, regular width

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

  • Preferred designers: Manolo Blahnik, Jimmy Choo, Prada & other luxury designers

  • Color palette: Mauve, light green, light blue, and soft pink

  • Embellishment: Yes

  • Overall direction: Dainty, whimsical, romantic, and vintage

  • Primary inspiration: Vintage Antoinette Manolo Blahnik heels

SOURCING NOTES

  • Your first 2–3 curated options will be presented within 1 business day of purchasing your custom listing.

  • Up to 8 total options are included in your custom sourcing process.

  • Your feedback on each round will be used to further refine the search.

  • Most custom searches are completed within approximately 2–6 weeks. This timeline may extend for exceptionally rare heels. Your deadline will always be honored.

PRICING NOTES

  • The flat fee of this listing covers the time spent sourcing multiple options, the selected heels themselves, any necessary repairs or modifications, and custom gift wrapping. No additional fees.

  • If the sourcing process is fully exhausted and no presented option is selected, the full purchase value will be issued as store credit. Store credit may be applied toward another custom order or any available piece from from Ari.

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.
