Frequently asked questions
What footwear is included here?
Archival designer heels and related pairs. The collection currently mixes an in-stock Gucci pair with sold reference listings from houses such as Yves Saint Laurent, Prada, and Gucci.
Can I buy the sold shoes shown in this collection?
Sold listings are reference material and are not available to purchase from stock; use a Sourcing Request if you want help finding a similar pair.
Are these confirmed runway samples?
Season or runway labels, when present, are stated on the individual product page; the collection page does not upgrade those notes into confirmed runway claims for every pair.
How does sizing work on vintage designer heels?
Sizing follows the era's own conventions and the size marked on each product page rather than current brand standards.
Can I request available heels for a fitting?
Yes for pieces still available, subject to The Rareté's Pull-to-Purchase-or-Rent terms.
What if the designer heel I want isn't available?
Submit a Sourcing Request describing the designer, silhouette, size, or season.
