New Taj of India Black Thong Genie Sandal w Pyramid Kitten Heel – 6M, 1960s
About the Item
Considered extremely rare luxury items in the mid-century, Taj of India shoes were produced to promote cultural exchange between India and the United States during the spreading threat of Communism. Featuring hand-loomed silk uppers, gold mylar soles and brass heels in novel shapes, they were intended to be worn indoors only and were reserved for women of means. They were the exclusive brand worn by Barbara Eden in “I Dream of Jeannie” and are featured in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This model—in the same size worn by Eden—features a gold bouillon zardozi vamp, clear vinyl covered sole and a pyramid kitten heel.

Black Souliers Christian Dior Block Heel Pumps with High Vamp – US 10, 1960s
By Christian Dior
Located in Tucson, AZ
Vintage shoes, like vintage clothing, reveal how much quality has suffered with the passage of time. As sturdy as tanks, these beauties will take you from board room to dining room and remain as comfortable as slippers thanks to their full support, solid heel and wide toe box. Their Puritanical silhouette is right in step with fashion’s “new modesty.”
Leather pump with wide, square toe and chunky block heel; 1” elastic gusset at center vamp. Fully lined in persimmon leather; leather sole and upper. Heels recently re-tapped.
material: leather
noteworthy: clean and polish with leather conditioner
repairs: none
condition: very good with enough wear to insole to almost completely remove brand stamp, and sole wear consistent with 5-10 wearings. Original owner placed heel pads beneath insole and heel lining is beginning to lift. Light “pricks” on both vamps consistent with the use of decorative shoe clips and extremely gentle scuffs on toe box of right shoe.
measurements:
length: 10 ½” from toe to heel, measured along insole
width: 3 1/16” measured across widest part of sole
vamp height: 3 ¾”
heel: 2 1/8”
label: Souliers Christian Dior...
