Vintage Chloe Leather Cork Wedge Sandals Black EU38

A sculpted cork wedge forms the foundation of these black leather sandals, their clean straps wrapping the foot in supple matte grain. The open-toe design is punctuated by gold-tone buckles at each ankle — a subtle glint against the inky black upper, quietly referencing Chloe’s preference for understated hardware over overt logos. These wedges evoke the relaxed elegance of Chloe’s early 2000s collections under Phoebe Philo and her successors, when the house became synonymous with effortless Parisian chic and sensual, tactile materials. Founded in 1952 by Gaby Aghion, Chloe has long defined modern bohemian luxury, favouring soft leathers and a natural palette to create pieces both timeless and contemporary.

The absence of external logos invites attention to the shoe’s sculptural silhouette and the warm, organic texture of its cork platform. The gold-tone hardware is bright and free from notable scratching, while the leather straps retain their shape with only minimal soft creasing from wear. The cork wedge shows no chipping or staining, and the soles are clean with light signs of use.
