MARNI - Olive Leather Fussbett Sabot, fair condition - 13 (EU 46)
Marni is beloved and culturally important because it acts as fashion’s ultimate artistic playground, standing out as a fiercely independent anomaly in the highly structured world of Italian luxury. Marni was born out of a rejection of 1990s minimalism.
Very comfortable slippers that I used mostly for the house In fair condition, as described But they are gorgeous with the leather just breaking in now A cobbler could bring these back to like new condition MSRP: $795 As usual, shipping is free but there is a $10.00 handling fee; please allow up to 5-day handling before package goes out
Marni is beloved and culturally important because it acts as fashion’s ultimate artistic playground, standing out as a fiercely independent anomaly in the highly structured world of Italian luxury. While major Milanese fashion houses built empires on hyper-sexuality, rigid tailoring, or logomania, Marni cultivated a dedicated, cult-like following by celebrating quirky intellectualism, eccentric elegance, and avant-garde wearable art. Originally founded in 1994 by Consuelo Castiglioni and later evolved into a colorful, delightfully absurd ecosystem under creative director Francesco Risso, the house has cemented its importance through several distinct codes:
1. The Alternative 'Anti-Trend' Philosophy
Marni was born out of a rejection of 1990s minimalism. Instead of chasing mainstream trends, the brand designed clothes meant to look like "old friends"—pieces that feel deeply personal and comfortable. Its core silhouette completely avoids bodycon constraints, choosing instead: Sculptural, wonky volumes: Oversized sleeves, slouchy wide-cuts, and structured A-line skirts that celebrate form without hyper-sexualizing the body. The "Fussbett" Sandal 2. A Masterclass in Texture and Clashing Prints
Marni treats a garment more like a canvas than a textile. The house is celebrated for its fearless subversion of colors and tactile manipulation: Experimental textures: Combining contrasting materials—such as raw raffia, distressed knitwear, eco-conscious materials, and treated leather—to build multi-dimensional garments. Art-gallery prints: Blending retro geometric patterns, Matisse-influenced prints, and colorful hand-painted florals that intentionally clash yet somehow harmonize beautifully. 3. Intellectual, Art-Scenester Appeal
Often described as the uniform for the global creative class, Marni deliberately targets an intellectual audience of artists, curators, and collectors. The brand actively blurs the line between design house and creative community. Its brick-and-mortar flagships are configured to function as multifunctional installation galleries and artist residencies rather than standard transactional boutiques. 4. Redefining Menswear and Youth Culture
When Marni expanded into menswear, it injected subversion into traditional Italian tailoring. By introducing soft patchwork prints, deconstructed shapes, and fuzzy textures, Marni gave men permission to dress with a sense of playful wonder and emotional vulnerability. Mainstream, highly successful collaborations (like their viral partnership with Uniqlo) brought this high-fashion, print-heavy joyful subversion directly to a younger, global internet audience. Ultimately, Marni remains critical to the fashion landscape because it proves that true luxury doesn't have to be self-serious or uniform—it can be handmade, unpredictable, a little strange, and incredibly fun
*********************************************************************
I will be listing multiple very high-end, collectible products over the next few years. Most come from my personal collection so they will fit similarly. To give you an idea of my fit, I am 6'3", 260 lbs (all muscle, I swear - not true but I do have some). I have NO ass but a bigger belly so I take a larger top but I can fit a surprisingly small size around my waists. But this means that most of my pants have shorter than usual inseam (usually on the order of 30"). However, I have included measurements (usually in the photos) on each item I sell for your own information.
I am an individual, not tied to a corporation or to a massive seller. As I said, most items are mine, my wife's, or my kids from our personal collection. There will be clothes, accessories, shoes, homeware, and other sundry item all united by a single ethos: they have captured our imagination in one way or other in the past. But time moves on and so does family and while we downsize, we want to make sure that our 'treasures' are properly rehomed. Everything is either new with tags, new without tags, or in immaculate condition which I will describe individually for each item. If not, I will describe defects and condition. Pre-owned clothes have been dry-cleaned.
We do not take returns unless there is something materially wrong with the item or factually incorrect about the listing. We do provide enough information that all information should be covered. In the meantime, we welcome questions and will answer them as quickly as possible.
We generally ship within 5 business days, but there may be exception which we will be sure to let you know. We will keep you apprised during the shipping process. We pack the items very well and have not had issues with breakage in the past.
We expect to be paid through Paypal within 72 hrs of auction end (24 hrs for buy-it-now). Unless of course you have received an extension from us personally.
Shipping is free - the price is inclusive of it. We usually ship FedEx or UPS with some sort of tracking. After that, the package is yours. I am not responsible if you don't receive it. I have been fooled in the past by people demanding refund, claiming that the shipper lost their package even though the website clearly states it arrived. In these situations, the problem is between you and the handler and we will not be sending refunds.
If you are happy with your service and item, we welcome your feedback, just like we would do for you. This helps with our reputation which is all we have on this disembodied app!
If I have forgotten something, or you have some more questions/insights/conundrums, or if you can explain quantum entanglement to a 5th grader, I welcome the interaction.
Cheers, and happy hunting!
