Natural snakeskin in cream and charcoal — the real markings, not a print, running unbroken from toe to heel. Jimmy Choo cut it as a rounded pump with a small notched detail at the vamp and a fine stiletto, letting the skin do everything.
The pattern shifts across the shoe the way real skin does: tight scales at the toe, broader mottling over the arch, the heel wrapped to match. Neutral enough for daylight, strange enough to be worth noticing.
Details
House: Jimmy Choo

Color: Natural — cream and charcoal
Silhouette: Round-toe pump, notched vamp
Size: 39 (stamped at sole)

Made in Italy
Condition
Good, with one clear flaw. The heel tips are worn down and frayed at the edges on both shoes — visible in the photos, and the first thing to address. A cobbler replaces tips for a few dollars and these are back in service. Otherwise strong: a previous owner had Vibram rubber soles added, which is why the undersides are in better shape than the age suggests. Skin is supple with light dryness at the topline edges; no cracking or lifting. Interior clean.
Care
Wipe with a dry cloth in the direction of the scales. Keep away from water and heat. Replace the heel tips before wearing.
