Trussardi blue & tan leather high heel sandals, EU40, NWT

Dante Trussardi, the founder of this old-school Italian luxury brand, started out making gloves and ski-gear in 1910. Because there was so much competition in the ski gear market, Trussardi developed his own unique method of processing and dressing natural leather and quickly became Europe's favorite for fine leather gloves. Fast forward to Dante's grandson, Nicola, who transformed Trussardi into a luxury brand producing shoes, bags, and clothing in the finest quality leather in the 1970s. In 1983, he launched a long-awaited collection of shoes and clothing for women. It sold out in a single day. Trussardi has outfitted the Italian Football team, and created custom leather interiors for BMW. The story of the Trussardi family would make a fascinating Netflix series - four generations of drama, fatal car crashes, which seems to be a thing with Italian designers, triumph over adversity, and LEATHER... I would watch the heck out of that. TLDR: these blue & tan leather chunky heeled sandals are the bomb, the epitome of elegance, and absolutely exquisite. Way too small on my size 9.5 feet, these would best fit a size 8.5 or perhaps a narrow size 9. They've been stored mostly in the box since 2012. There's a hairline scratch on one heel (photo) that could probably be polished out, but it's barely noticeable. Wide stacked leather heels measure 4.75", floating platform .75", footbed length is just under 10.25"
