Vtg. 70s Herbert Levine T-Strap Pumps Black Suede Tea for Two - 7.5 N

Beth Levine designed these classic black suede shoes made by the company she and her husband owned - Herbert Levine Shoes. All their shoes were painstakingly made by hand and are of highest quality. This pair was made for Nordstrom Best Little Shop Shoes ( Designer Shoe Salon) in Seattle, WA The design is called Tea for Two and the style is a T-strap which was a popular design from the 1920's brought back by Beth Levine for the Mod High Fashion Customer of 1972 when they were purchased. The shoes were worn only a time or two and are in impeccable vintage condition. You can see a tiny bit of wear on the soles but none at all on the upper portion of the shoes. Herbert Levine shoes are highly sought after and valued by vintage shoe collectors as well as vintage fashionistas who wear them. They are as fashionable today as they were when they were made - possibly more so! Museums have recently presented shows of shoes designed by Beth Levine for Herbert Levine Shoes. This pair is definitely museum quality. Gorgeous, Wearable if you want, and Highly Collectable. Come with original box which shows a little wear but has perfectly protected this pair for 50 years! Size is 7.5 N True to size. I recently had them measured by Nordstroms designer Shoe salon to be sure. These have been in my family since they were acquired in 1972. Interestingly, I also had the pleasure of knowing Beth and Herbert Levine as family friends
