Marc Jacobs (*not* Marc by Marc Jacobs) Kitten Heel Slingbacks with Ribbon Trim




Hi all,

I posted these a while back, and I am re-posting because I think they they are actually a fantastic deal and that someone could really enjoy these. They are from the signature (main) not Marc by Marc Jacobs line for which I am embarrassed to say that I paid $425. (They weren't on sale - yikes!) Unfortunately, I wore them once to an indoors party, to which I walked a block from my apartment, and I realized that I had been talked into buying a pair of shoes that was a half size too small for me simply because I wanted them so badly.

These are quite sweet burgundy Marc Jacobs kitten heel sling backs with ribbon trim woven as a border. They are made of incredibly soft leather.

They are Size 36.5 and they run true to size.

Made in Italy

Condition: slight wear on soles. Almost no wear on heel! No scuffing on toe. Worn once.

Imperfections: there is a minor stain on the toe of the right shoe. I think it simply needs to be cleaned with a leather cleaner/polish but I have yet to try. If you look hard in the first photo, you'll see it's nearly impossible to see...it appears as a darkening in the leather. But it's for this reason I'm asking so much less than I paid.

Heel height: an easy 2"

This is such a great shoe. Whomever gets them will undoubtedly love these since they are so comfortable (if only they fit me...) I am really, really trying to reform my shopping ways. I think this is a start, and I feel fine about passing along shoes to someone who would love them.

Paid: $425
Asking: $65 including shipping ($5 more to Canada)

Listing end: October 22 (so you can begin wearing them as soon as possible), leave email in comments! If they are not taken by then, I will extend to October 30. Thanks!
