Green Polka Dot Pumps, Size 7

Chic polka dot pumps by Julianneli for Bonwit Teller Fifth Avenue. The box has “1980” written on it in marker, but based on the style and construction of the shoes they were purchased in the 1950’s or 60’s. These shoes originally retailed for €26.95, which is almost $300 in 2022 with inflation.

These shoes appear to have been worn only once very lightly, possibly to a dinner or show as they don’t appear to have been walked in very far. Soles are smooth with just very slight surface scratching, heels are in good shape. The body of these shoes has stiffened over time, so the fabric uppers are not super pliable. There is one woven spot on one shoe that has slightly frayed at the edges.

Size 7, very narrow (7.5 AA)

4” heel.

1950's-60's.
