A striking archival pair of Louis Vuitton evening sandals from the Marc Jacobs era, combining the house’s instantly recognizable Monogram motif with metallic gold leather and dark brown exotic-skin detailing.
These open-toe sandals feature a brown textile footbed woven with miniature gold-tone Louis Vuitton Monogram motifs, creating a subtle yet unmistakable house signature beneath the foot. An intricate arrangement of narrow metallic-gold leather straps crosses the foot and wraps elegantly around the ankle, contrasted by wider dark brown textured exotic-skin straps across the toe and upper.
The multi-strap construction creates an almost jewelry-like effect around the foot, while petite gold-tone adjustable buckles secure the ankle straps. The sandals are finished with slender dark brown stiletto heels and leather outsoles.
The juxtaposition of Monogram textile, metallic leather and exotic-skin texture is particularly representative of Louis Vuitton footwear from the Marc Jacobs era, when the house frequently translated its established Monogram vocabulary into more fashion-driven ready-to-wear and accessories.
The underside is stamped with the Louis Vuitton initials, size 37½, and Made in Italy.
