RARE!! Authentic Helmut Lang Men's Luxury Black Woven Leather Unfinished Edge Lo

RARE!! Authentic Helmut Lang Men's Luxury Black Woven Leather Unfinished Edge Loafers - Size 12 Helmut Lang is a high-end luxury clothing brand that was established in 1986. This is a very unique/rare pair of woven leather loafers from the brand. I purchased them from an estate sale on NYC's Upper East Side. These shoes were individually handcrafted in Italy with only the finest leather goods. Features: Woven leather design with unfished edges that give an unexpected twist to what would otherwise be a very traditional polished shoe style. This is an ultra-rare and sought-after style. The leather facing the shoe's exterior is all black, but if you turn up the tongue, you can see that the woven pieces were tanned in various shades. Shoes feature removable black leather-top inserts and leather soles (Vero cuoio) with a plastic heel guard. Condition: In very good pre-owned condition. The shoes have been stored with wooden Florsheim shoe supports inside to help them keep their shape. There is minor wear to the soles and the back portion of the heel is becoming modestly worn down but a cobbler can make quick work of fixing that. High-end shoes like these were made to be mended. Size: The shoes are marked as 9.5 but are too big for my Dad (a size 11.) I believe they are approximately a modern 12. They are 12.5" heel to toe and 4.25" at their widest point.
