Italian made lace up patent loafer - Brand New, Never Worn - Size 38 - Esarsi

Esarsi was a mother-daughter shoe brand based out of Denver with the shoes all made in Milan. The line was sold in Fred Segal and the like, but has since stopped operating. This is a never before worn pair of black patent lace up heeled loafers. The heel is a gold geometric cage detail. The shoes have been kept in individual shoe bags in the box, with original stuffing and shapers. Incredible quality craftsmanship. No former listing exists for these but I found a few references to them being priced over $1k. I wish they were my size, I would keep them! This is from a 2015 article on 5280.com: Esarsi Esarsi’s beginnings are an entrepreneurial cliché (the company began on a cocktail napkin). The shoes, though, are anything but. Designed by Denver mother-daughter duo Rosalie and Stacey Cooper, Esarsi’s high-fashion footwear mixes fabrics and textures and incorporates funky metalwork to create masterpieces for your feet. We particularly love the Celia ($1,125), with its snakeskin strip and gold-cutout heel, and the Ava ($995, pictured), an edgy, distressed copper–bedecked high-heel take on the gladiator sandal. Since the pair debuted their line in 2012, Esarsi has been featured in Vogue and on The Daily Buzz and picked up by LA’s Fred Segal and, locally, A Line Boutique. Stacey, a University of Colorado Boulder and London College of Fashion alum, now lives in Milan, where she oversees production of the handmade shoes, but her mom still finds inspiration in Colorado.
