1960s Gold Ballet Leather Ballet Flats. Size 8.5. Good condition. They show age and use. They were stores bent and might take a bit to go back to flat.
Step into mid-century style with this fabulous pair of genuine 1960s ballet flats. Crafted from soft, supple leather in a glamorous metallic gold finish, these shoes embody the chic comfort of the Mod era. Each flat is adorned with a delicate, beaded paisley-style pattern on the toe, adding a touch of sparkle and texture. The design features a flexible sole and a gathered, elasticated heel for a snug and comfortable fit.
These shoes are in good vintage condition, with authentic signs of age and gentle use that add to their character. Please note, they were stored in a folded position, as was common for travel slippers of this kind. As a result, they are currently bent and may require some time with shoe forms or stuffing to relax and lay completely flat again.
These versatile flats are perfect for a 1960s-themed event, or as a comfortable yet glamorous option for an evening out, a holiday party, or even a wedding guest. They would be a wonderful gift for a collector of vintage fashion or anyone looking to add a unique piece of wearable history to their wardrobe.
This item is vintage, over 50 years old. While it appears to be in good condition, there may be minor imperfections that I missed.
Additional detail: These shoes are a wonderful example of a style often called "hostess slippers" or "travel flats," which were very popular in the 1960s. Women valued them for their comfort during at-home entertaining or would carry the foldable pair in a purse to change into after a long day in heels.
