Purple Suede Boots For Sale on 1stDibs

On 1stDibs, there are many options to choose from in our collection of purple suede boots. If you’re looking for Black purple suede boots and you’re unable to find the right fit, there are plenty of variations in Purple, Brown and more. The ideal items for you are waiting among the distinctive accessories we have available, which include versions made as long ago as the 20th Century as well as those produced as recently as the 21st Century. Purple suede boots such as these have likely been a part of the legacy of many fashion designers, but those produced by Giuseppe Zanotti, Sergio Rossi and Chanel are consistently popular. When shopping for these accessories, you’ll find that there are less available pieces for men or unisex today than there are for women.

How Much are Purple Suede Boots?

On average, purple suede boots on 1stDibs sell for $525, while they’re typically $114 on the low end and $1,374 for the highest priced versions of these items.

Finding the Right Shoes for You

Whether they’re Hermès sandals, black Jimmy Choo boots, ivory-leather-and-pink-daisy heels by sublime shoemaker Manolo Blahnik or Christian Louboutin platform pumps, you can find your next pair of legendary luxury vintage and designer shoes today on 1stDibs.

Shoes offered by the likes of Versace, Chanel, Charles Jourdan or Prada are integral to completing your carefully orchestrated street-style or evening ensemble these days, but footwear wasn’t always the big deal it is for your average Adidas enthusiast.

The decorative floor-length gowns that upper-class women of the 18th century wore meant that their shoes, then likely featuring high curved heels finished with woven or embroidered silks — a sharp contrast to the heavy, rudimentary form of the era’s footwear for men — were partially or entirely obscured by the base of their ornate dresses. What good is fashion if it’s tucked away?

Our modern age’s legions of sneakerheads might have trouble tracking down a pair of black-and-gold vintage Jordans but can at least fill their dream closets with original Adidas Gazelles or 1980s New Balances if they put the time in, while 1990s-era Prada pumps or a good pair of mid-20th-century jewel-tone heels in satin or silk haven’t lost their allure with today’s nostalgic fashionistas.

A pair of shoes can commemorate an achievement, mark an important trip overseas and is sometimes a rich manifestation of a hard-won physical feat. On 1stDibs, find Chanel flats or two-tone heels, Christian Dior pumps, vintage Margiela Tabi boots and many more designer shoes today.

Questions About Purple Suede Boots
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    To protect Saint Laurent suede boots, make sure you avoid excessive exposure to water, rain and snow. Invest in products to moisturize the material, and use a boot tree to maintain the shape of taller boots. Stock up on specialized suede-cleaning products to ensure proper care of your Saint Laurent boots. Always wipe down your boots after each wear. Find a wide array of Saint Laurent boots from some of the world’s top boutiques on 1stDibs.
