Do you ship internationally?

Yes. We offer international shipping with careful packing standards designed to protect delicate textiles and cultural objects.

What does museum-grade mean on your site?

Museum-grade refers to coherence and integrity: materials, technique, and condition align with a convincing internal logic and cultural presence.

How do you describe condition on vintage and antiques?

We describe condition with a collector’s lens, noting material aging, patina, and structural integrity so you can make confident decisions.

How should I care for Japanese vintage textiles and embroidery?

Avoid harsh light, humidity swings, and compression. Store with breathable protection and handle gently to preserve structure and surface.

How do I start collecting thoughtfully?

Begin with one category you truly connect with, learn its visual language, and expand slowly. Depth of understanding matters more than volume.

An unused pair of Louis Vuitton tassel loafers from the Autumn 2017 Chapman Brothers collaboration, the uppers in lustrous blue satin printed with the brothers’ elephant in russet and black.

The Piece

Cut as a classic slipper loafer with a black leather tassel on each vamp, the uppers are a blue satin-weave textile printed with the Chapmans’ hand-drawn elephant, each shoe placed differently so no two panels match. The leather sole carries the Louis Vuitton stamp and a low stacked heel.

Louis Vuitton size 7½, roughly EU 41½ or US 8½; outsole 29 cm (11.4 in), width 9.5 cm, heel 2 cm. The fit is a true loafer fit and suits a foot of about 27 cm.

Comes with the Louis Vuitton box (faded) and dust bags.
