2009 Runway Documented Saint Laurent Silver Leather Cage Boots
The Cage Boots walked the Saint Laurent runway for the fashion house's Spring 2009 runway. Designed when Stefano Pilati was the creative director, these designs were instantly iconic and featured in numerous editorial shoots across the fashion world. Crafted from supple leather with a high-shine silver finish, the cage-like formation offers glimpses of skin and the open-toe cut is perfect for showing off your pedicure. The towering 4.5 inch heel makes them a glamorous accompaniment to both trouser-suits and dresses and is crafted from silver-tone metal with a plastic top piece. The interior is lined with mirror-shine silver leather detailed with the “YSL” logo. The sole is debossed with the size, material and “Yves Saint Laurent”.
These shoes are unworn and in flawless condition. They have been in our collection since they were purchased new and were never worn by Circa's owner who decided it would be a crime to wear them :-) We consider the design to be one of the most significant footwear designs of the 21st century and they are already a very rare item to find unworn. The sole of the shoe is stamped with "cuir veritable" which translates as "real leather". The size on the sole is an Italian size 38, which is a UK size 5 or US 7 and these are slightly generous in our opinion by around a half size.

F.A.Q.
Will you set anything aside for me before I come?
We are happy to find anything you may be interested in from our website - please let us know a week in advance.
We also have an extensive offline collection. If you let us know your size, style, favourite colour to wear and perhaps your budget, we can browse through our archive in advance of your appointment.
Do I need to bring anything with me?
Clients may wish to bring modern shapewear when trying on garments from certain eras, especially the 1950s. Vintage clothing was often worn with undergarments that shaped the waist and as such is tailored for them.
We have a huge variety of slip dresses and petticoats to complete your look; many of which are also for sale.
You may also wish to bring your favourite footwear. We often find a classic pair of nude shoes work well when trying on, or a pair in gold or silver.
Do you have a price range?
Many of our lower-priced pieces (under £150) are not available to buy online. Our prices range from £80 - £600 for separates. Dresses start at around £150 and go up to £2,500 for the very best antique pieces and designer vintage. Our bridalwear ranges from £300 - £3,000.
