Product Description:
A striking pair of Dior by John Galliano red leather heeled sandals, showcasing the designer’s signature Y2K-era sensuality blended with subtle fetish-inspired detailing. Crafted in Italy from smooth deep red leather, the design features slim straps, a sculptural mid heel, and distinctive padlock and key hardware — an unmistakable Galliano-era motif symbolising desire, control, and elegance.
The rich burgundy tone contrasts sharply with the black footbed and silver-tone metal elements, creating a powerful yet refined visual balance. Adjustable ankle straps ensure a secure fit, while the streamlined silhouette elongates the leg with effortless sophistication.
A collectible archive piece from one of Dior’s most iconic creative periods, these sandals are ideal for styling with minimalist dresses, tailored trousers, or layered Y2K-inspired looks. Both wearable and archival, they represent Galliano’s poetic approach to fashion at the turn of the millennium.
