Description
Please note that we do not keep our Vintage collection at our retail store as we just don't have the room - if you would like to try Carabas please get in touch and we can bring it in for you to try.
Named after the cat’s master in the famous fairytale ‘Puss in Boots’ Carabas was inspired by our commissioned work for the NGV’s Melbourne Now exhibition. Carabas shoe continues our known explorations into the footwear of the past and adds a beautiful Preston Zly signature dovetailed front seam - its simplicity belying this complicated and highly crafted construction. Its strong square toe and heavy heel make these a grounding and tough style - easy to wear, timeless and edgy as always - they represent what you have come to demand from Preston Zly - Great craftsmanship, classic yet not conservative styles with a touch of the unexpected.
ALL ORDERS WITHIN AUSTRALIA ARE SHIPPED VIA AUSTRALIA POST - EXPRESS POST
We understand you might feel it's risky buying luxury shoes online without the opportunity to try them on - and that's why we're here for you all the way. Please feel free to contact Johanna: info@prestonzlydesign.com or +61 426 889 404 to discuss fit prior to purchase if you have any queries.
There is some general sizing info in our FAQs page. We are also more than happy to send you a pair or two to try. And of course we offer a full refund should the style and/or fit be unsuitable. We are here to make sure your online shopping experience is as fabulous as the one you would have in store.
And yes, as you well know, extraordinarily beautiful things, designed with consideration and crafted finely, don't come cheap.
In a time when the ‘exclusive’ European brands we so often associate with the term ‘limited edition’, are making their shoes in the tens and hundreds of thousands per style at prices often exceeding $1300, our micro team at Preston Zly are making around 500 pairs a year – by hand – spread over 16 designs. Now that’s what I call limited edition.
