Architectural stacked leather platform, dramatically widened at the midfoot and sharply tapered at the toe and heel Description: Archival Michel Perry lace-up slingback heels dating to the late 1980s–early 1990s, widely regarded as the designer’s most architecturally expressive period. Crafted in rich brown nappa leather, this pair combines an oxford- lace-up vamp with a slingback construction, creating a refined yet intellectual silhouette.

Condition: Unworn vintage condition. Shoes were never worn and retain original structure. Minor sur
