Luxury pre-owned women's pumps: our selection

First, for the price: a pair from a renowned house can be acquired pre-owned for a fraction of its boutique price. Then, for the quality: a luxury shoe is made to last — full-grain leathers, meticulous construction, resolable soles. Where disposable shoes end up in the trash, a Dior pump can be resoled and last another ten years.

And then there's the patina. Quality leather beautifies with age, molding to the foot and telling a story. This is the entire philosophy we advocate in our plea for pre-owned luxury: buy less, buy better, and make it last.

Our selection changes with our finds, but some houses always return: Christian Louboutin and its red sole, Dior and its evening pumps, Chanel, Céline for Parisian minimalism, Miu Miu for fantasy, Chloé, Jimmy Choo, Yves Saint Laurent or the French shoemaker Michel Perry.

Each brand page displays the pairs currently available: it's the best entry point if you're looking for a specific house.

The pump remains the ultimate versatile shoe: for the office, for evenings out, with jeans. The slingback is its spring-summer version, lighter — see our selection of Céline sandals and slingbacks. The ankle boot takes over in autumn, while the ballet flat and loafer reign supreme on long days.

For a comprehensive overview of silhouettes — from kitten heels to platforms — we have written a guide to luxury women's shoe types that will help you precisely name what you are looking for.

Every pair that arrives at our workshop in Bordeaux is meticulously inspected: authentication, cleaning and conditioning of the leather, checking of soles and heels, and minor repairs by our artisan cobblers when necessary. We wouldn't sell anything we wouldn't wear ourselves.

You receive a unique pair — there's only one of each — thoroughly checked and ready to wear, with complimentary delivery. And if you have any doubts about the size or condition, please write to us: we'll measure, photograph, and answer your questions before your purchase.
