New Taj of India Ivory Silk Harem Slipper Pump 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 vine motif beaded vamp, crewelwork stitching and a pyramid kitten heel.
Ivory silk pump with black seed bead and sequin vamp and crewelwork stitching; bright pink insole and slightly upturned toe. Slick graphite mylar sole and graphite pyramid kitten heel. New in original box.

I Miller Ivory, Pink and Green Peony Vamp Slingback Stiletto Sandals-6.5A, 1950s
Located in Tucson, AZ
As if to prove mid-century gals were unafraid of color, these sculpted stilettos mitigate their neutral bone ground with a fully-articulated leather peony in shades of pink and green on each vamp. Moreover, they hail from legendary Phoenix department store "Hanny's," now an über-cool cocktail bar that kept the old dressing rooms and display windows.
Stiletto heel slingback sandal of bone leather; adjustable buckle strap continues around ankle and attaches to vamp embellished with a handmade leather peony. (Stunning details include five individually hand-stitched petals raised off the surface of the shoe, hand-cut leaves and stitched "veins".) Leather insole, covered last and covered heel. Metal tap attached to sole of shoe at toe.
fabric: leather
noteworthy: wipe clean with damp rag and soften with leather conditioner
repairs: none
condition: very good in vintage shoe box...

New Orange and Yellow Jackson Pollock Splatter Stiletto Heel Pumps – 6, 1950s
Located in Tucson, AZ
A pump worthy of Peggy Guggenheim, these stilettos celebrate the abstract expressionist style of Jackson Pollock and were created during the height of his fame and creativity. Like the artist's work, these shoes vibrate with color and movement, and would be the perfect conversation piece at a gallery opening or museum exhibit.
Leather pointed toe pump with “drip technique” color pattern and square cut vamp; covered stiletto heel. Leather insole and suede-lined heel cup; metal taps each toe.

noteworthy: wipe clean with damp cloth

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...
