Vintage 1980s Mariolo Brown Exotic Leather Slingback Flats

Vintage 1980s Mariolo Brown Exotic Leather Slingback Flats   Marked size 8.5. Fits closer to a modern US 7 - 7.5 based on a try on. Vintage fit is narrow: please compare measurements for best fit.  10.5” is the length of sole.   Description  An exceptional vintage pair with the quiet, collected feeling of an archival wardrobe.  Mariolo slingback flats, circa 1980s, crafted in deep chocolate brown leather with irregular exotic-skin texture and beautifully aged tonal variation throughout. The elongated almond toe, low sculpted heel and slender slingback strap give them a refined, almost austere silhouette — understated, tactile and distinctly European in spirit.  Rich oxblood leather interiors are finished with the original MARIOLO woven labels and petite gold-tone buckles.  The appeal is in the patina: softened leather, subtle variation and evidence of a life already lived. Think The Row, old Céline, Loro Piana restraint — vintage rather than pristine.
