Ground breaking, understatedly stylish and precisely constructed, Helmut Lang's original pre-2005 work rocked the fashion industry in the 90's and are still highly desirable today. The pieces are now being collected by individuals and respected cultural institutions worldwide.
Purchased from Harrods, production year is 99; however, if knowing the exact year is important, please do your own research.
Please carefully examine photos as they form part of the item description / condition
These stylish comfy slip on loafer type flat shoes are made from 100% real Italian leather including the internal. The colour is black, but some photos may show tone variations due to lighting and exposure.
Lightly worn only a few times, overall in very good used condition, with some light signs of wear as expected.
As you can see, the exterior leather still looks great, while the soles show hardly any sign of wear other than a touch of dirt. They have been well maintained, stored in my bedroom closet all these years with shoe shapers.
Label indicates 35 for continental / European women's size Similar to UK2.5-3 or US5.
Any conversions are given as a guideline only, I can't guarantee accuracy.
Although I typically wear EU36, these shoes fitted me comfortably in the 90's but no longer so due to my expanding ageing feet.
Any concern or question please ask before buying as I am not a shop and do not give refunds.

If you refuse to pay the arising custom's duties / taxes / fees, this is not considered as 'ITEM NOT RECEIVED', and therefore, I will not give you a refund as I have already sent you the item in accordance to the Ebay Rules. If you open a case against me on EBAY or PAYPAL, you will not win.
2. I am not liable for any unexpected delays, which may include those cause by your country's custom inspection or 3rd Party Carrier, etc.
To find out how long your item will take to arrive, please contact me for an estimated time frame. If the delay is caused by the carrier, I will try to help you if possible, but anything else is most likely out of my jurisdiction.
3. I cannot be held liable if your item is confiscated by your country's custom for whatever reason.
This is not a case of 'ITEM NOT RECEIVED' as I have already sent the item in accordance to EBAY Rules, a refund will not be given.
4. I will always protect your item extremely well for safe transit, I cannot be held liable if your item is damaged as a result of custom inspection.

PLEASE TAKE A FEW MINUTES TO READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE BIDDING or PRESSING 'BUY-IT-NOW'
My commitment as a seller
- I always leave a feedback only after you leave yours, this will also serve to inform me that the item has been delivered.
- I endeavour to describe my item plus all associated service as accurately as possible; please view photos and item descriptions carefully; any questions please ask prior to bidding or buying.
- Your items will always be securely packed with sufficient protective materials to avoid transit damages.
- I always dispatch within 1-3 working days after receiving your payment and follow with a dispatch notice, therefore, to calculate when your item should arrive and leaving feedback, please consider: my dispatch period + carrier transit period. A sales transaction made on Wednesday or Thursday may not be dispatched until Monday because weekends and bank holidays are not considered as working days.
- Before leaving a negative feedback or involving the 'resolution centre', please contact me first via the 'contact seller' portal; 99.9% of cases can be resolved amicably and swiftly.
Payment
- I only accept PAYPAL unless the item is to be collected or you opt for Local Delivery if this is available.
- I only accept CASH for all Collect-in-Person or Local Delivery items; if you pay with Paypal, I will refund you and insist on cash.
- Local Delivery made by myself may be offered on some items; if you wish to inspect the goods, you must do so in London SE18 before delivery.
- Collect-in-Person & Local Delivery - you need to communicate with me within 24hrs to make arrangement and complete the transaction within the next 3-5 days; if you are unable to comply to my requested time frame, please communicate with me before bidding or pressing 'Buy-it-Now'.
- all UNPAID items will be reported to Ebay and a case will be opened against you in accordance to Ebay T&C; please only bid / buy if you are able to commit to the binding contract.
Delivery + Insurance please check that you're happy with these associated costs, or communicate with me before bidding / buying, as I am unable to negotiate once the auction has finished. By making a bid or pressing 'Buy-it-Now', you implicitly agree to accept reasonable delivery costs, either quoted on this page, already agreed privately, or calculated after the auction, whichever applies.
- Shipment can only be sent to your delivery address as registered in your Paypal account.
- Combined postage - you must contact me and provide your Paypal registered address & exact items before bidding / buying to see if this is possible; if you ask me after making payment, I will not be able to make any adjustments.
- Due to increasing fraudulent activities on Ebay combined with many buyers not leaving feedbacks, most items will be sent Signed-For via Royal Mail or courier, hence this reflects on my p&p charge which also includes packaging materials (mostly new) plus fees imposed on me by Ebay & Paypal. With higher price items, p&p will be significantly higher because of enhanced insurance.
- If the outer parcel appears damaged when it is delivered, you must report this when signing for the packet, for example: 'unchecked goods, box corner is dented' or 'unchecked good, packaging is torn', etc; thereafter, please also take a photo before unwrapping the parcel; your actions can facilitate the claiming process if the internal content is found to be damaged.
- I will always notify you after dispatch and provide a tracking # if one is available; should you miss the initial delivery attempt, you are responsible to make your own arrangement for collection or redelivery.
- If your item is deemed as 'Return to Sender' and I do eventually receive it, you must pay p&p again before I can send the item. In all cases, whether your item is actually returned to me or not, or you refuse to pay for redelivery, a refund for both the item & initial p&p will NOT be given as I have already sent you the item in accordance to Ebay Regulations, this is NOT classed as 'Item Not Received'. Any 'Returned to Sender' item will be kept for 7 days and thereafter will be donated to charity without further notice unless you have communicated with me and taken appropriate actions; please also be aware that I am not liable for damages caused by excessive transit of your shipment.
- 'Item Not Received' claims - I will only issue you a refund after the period deemed by the carrier as 'Lost'; this can vary depending on destination, service and carrier used; while Royal Mail to UK is around 15 working days after my dispatch, couriers could be different.
