rare vintage Chelsea Cobbler London mod 60's lace up gogo boots museum quality


























Description

So here is the holy grail of mod 1960's fashion for the collector who has everything....except a musuem quality pair of Chelsea Cobbler boots! These are not just  near pristine Chelsea Cobbler boots but a pair of architectural masterpieces by the iconic London maker.  These are the stuff of legend only they are real and right here for you to own.  Chelsea Cobbler had a wild cult following in the 60's and everyone who was anyone had to own a pair.  They were know as being Bianca Jaggers favorite boots.   So fine CC shoes are on display at the Victoria and Albert Musuem, the Bath Fashion Museum, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.  Now, the Met has some fine Chelsea shoes and boots but in my opinion they can't touch this pair.  These deserve to be mounted under glass as sculpture in your main room for all to enjoy.  There is no size marking so I have tried to take measurements- not an easy task in a boot.  The inside sole is about 9 and 1/4" long at the most and may be a tad under that measurement.  The outside sole at the widest ball of the foot area is about 3" at most and may be a tad less than that. The heel is about 2 and 1/4".  The opening at the top of the leg when completely closed is about 11 and 1/4" around and can be worn with looser lacing up to about 13" wide and perhaps a tad more depending on how wide you want the laces to be.  I will include the boot trees with these.  They are the same boot trees that have been used to store these treasures with for many years.  The leather is supple and in excellent condition.  The metal is beautiful and looks pristine.  There are no bad odors.  The condition is simply amazing.  There are of course subtle signs of wear but the owner took such great care of these boots that they are just divine.  The sizing from comparing marked shoes of similar age ranges from a size 5 and 1/2 to 6 and 1/2.  The boots are on the narrow side but not excessively so.  You could spend far more than this on a new pair of luxury boots but they don't come with such a rich history.  Thanks for your consideration. 

Sizing on clothing varies greatly- especially with vintage items so please go by these approximate measurements to determine if this will work for you:

I have many beautiful designer and vintage fashions currently at auction and will be happy to combine shipping on multiple wins.  

 

I OFFER PRIMARILY FINE DESIGNER HIGH END FASHIONS AND RARE VINTAGE CLOTHING FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.  SUCH COLLECTIONS ARE DIFFICULT FOR ME TO FIND AND CERTAINLY A TREASURE FOR YOU TO OWN SO IF YOU LIKE WHAT YOU SEE PUT IN YOUR BEST BID EARLY BECAUSE WHEN IT IS GONE IT JUST MAY BE GONE FOREVER.   

 

BUYING VINTAGE IS FOR THOSE WHO WANT THE CHARACTER AND UNIQUENESS OF BYGONE ERAS.  VINTAGE ITEMS ARE NOT PERFECT AND ONE SHOULD EXPECT MINOR IMPERFECTIONS.  IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A PERFECT MINT CONDITION ITEM THEN VINTAGE IS NOT FOR YOU.  EXCELLENT CONDITION MEANS STRONG, BEAUTIFUL, AND WEARABLE- NOT PERFECT. 

 

 

 A GENTLE WORD: 5 star ratings are what I strive and work hard for.  When rating please remember that I am not responsible for costs of shipping as I charge you based on actual USPS rates.  I quickly drop your package at the post office so please rate my speed based on how quickly your postage is purchased and not on how long the postal service delivers your item. My communication lines are fully open and I am anxious to assist you so if you message me through ebay I will respond.  I describe all items to the best of my ability so if you find something not as described it would be an honest mistake so please allow me the opportunity to correct it.  Descriptions of clothing vary as do opinions and monitor color representations so please keep that in mind when purchasing over the internet.  My intention is to provide excellent representation of the item for sale however I am limited in number of photographs to post and every detail cannot be magnified or captured on my camera.  Thanks so very much for considering my items. 

 

 International orders please understand that priority mail shipping is required because it protects the seller and the buyer whereas first class and flat rate has little to no tracking information at all and leaves the seller unprotected against unreceived item claims.   The charges are set by the post office and not by myself.  Customs forms will be filled out according to the law- please do not ask for altered information.  Customs fees are the buyers responsibility and are not included in your invoice.  Thanks for understanding.

 

 Please read my method of MEASUREMENTS:  The bust is measured with the garment lying flat and measured straight across from the bottom of one armpit to the other- I then double the measurement for an all around bust.     My measurements are a good approximation and I try to err on the side of caution will give you a tad smaller than I am getting with my tape.  Vintage preowned fashion items may have evidence of being used.  My items are very gently worn unless otherwise noted in the description.  Please expect very minor imperfections. Feel free to ask questions before bidding.  These items are being sold as is and are also not returnable for wrong size, fit, or buyers remorse. 

 
ALL SALES ARE FINAL, ALL ITEMS SOLD AS IS.  There are no returns on vintage or pre-owned items unless we make a mistake.  You are purchasing a unique preowned or vintage item and it may require cleaning ,alterations, or minor repairs.  The item may be made by hand, couture, or other manufacturing. Colors on monitors may display differently. Excellent condition means that the item is in attractive wearable condition considering age and will require no repairs or at the most very minor ones.  Rarely I will list an item as mint and pristine meaning that I have found virtually no flaws that need attention.  Perfect does not exist even in a brand new item as you may find a loose button, missed stitch or something.   


My opinion may differ from yours so please enlarge the plentiful pictures I supply to get a good idea of the item for sale. 
Your item comes from my non-smoking and pet free establishment but I cannot guarantee the history of the original place of storage. 

Thanks for your consideration!

Terms of Sale

If you are buying vintage items please expect minor flaws typical from use or age. Vintage has character and patina that will make it unlike a brand new modern intem. I try to describe any major issues or flaws but may not find every tiny flaw. Colors, fabrics, and such are described to my best ability but our opinions may differ. I only describe things how I see them and would never mislead a customer on purpose. If you are looking for items to be in mint pristine condition then vintage may not be suited to you. Finding a tiny spot or a loose seam that was not mentioned or other insignificant details is not a reason for returns. Unless I describe the item as mint condition it is not. In the unusual event of a RETURN the buyer will pay return shipping fees and refunds will only be issued when the item is received by me in the same condition it was sent to you in- and a RESTOCKING FEE of $10 will be accessed. Thank you. DSR's or Detailed Seller Ratings are very important to me as I strive to provide a postive shopping experience for my customers. I put 5 star effort into my work and hope to recieve the 5 ***** rating from you. Please contact me with any issues so that I may have the opportunity to best serve you. * Most of my items are vintage and probably used. Unless I claim the item is "mint" then please expect minor imperfections or signs of age. I try very hard to examine everything but I could miss something minor. Returns are accepted only on items that were seriously misrepresented and that would only occur if I simply missed something major or mistakenly described an item. I attempt to describe all aspects of the things I sell and I take several pictures to give you accurate information. Clothing for the most part is not returnable unless I was far off on my measurements or failed to describe a major issue. I want you to contact me with as many questions as you have for an item before bidding and I will do my best to answer them. Please refer to the shipping details for further terms of sale.
