Elie Tahari — Suede Caged Lace-Up Pumps in Bordeaux

Elegant, sculptural, and dramatically refined, these pointed-toe pumps are crafted in rich deep bordeaux suede, delivering a luxurious matte finish with a soft, velvety texture.

The design features a striking criss-cross lace-up vamp, paired with cut-out side panels that create a bold yet feminine architectural silhouette. Elevated on a 12 cm covered stiletto heel, the shoe elongates the leg and enhances its theatrical presence.

Referencing the “Julia Theater” styling from Laura’s archive, this pair blends performance-inspired drama with high-fashion precision—perfect for evening looks, statement outfits, or curated editorial styling. A powerful statement heel that merges elegance, drama, and archival inspiration.

The Designer

Founded in New York in 1973 by Israeli-American designer Elie Tahari, the house built its reputation on polished American contemporary tailoring — silks, tweeds, suede footwear — pitched at a woman who dresses for work and expects one piece to take her into evening. Sold at Bergdorf Goodman, Saks and Neiman Marcus for five decades.
