Disco at Home | Vintage Jacques Levine Metallic Leather Wedge Slippers
A fabulous pair of vintage Jacques Levine slippers in a gleaming patchwork of silver, pale gold, and deeper antique-gold metallic leather. The streamlined closed-toe silhouette is finished with a low wedge heel, giving them the ease of a house slipper with enough glamour to feel completely dressed.
Made in Spain for Jacques Levine, they capture exactly what made the label famous: taking something as everyday as a slipper and turning it into a genuine fashion accessory. The sweeping color-blocked panels make this pair especially striking—and very easy to imagine with everything from a silk caftan to wide-leg trousers.
Why We Love It
Because why should staying in mean dressing down?
The mix of metallic leathers gives these a wonderful late-20th-century glamour without feeling costume-y. Silver, champagne, and burnished gold catch the light differently from every angle, while the simple shape keeps the look sophisticated.
They are the sort of unexpected vintage accessory that makes an outfit feel collected rather than styled.

Collector’s Notes
Jacques Levine has been elevating the humble slipper into fashion since the company was founded in 1936. The family-owned footwear house became particularly celebrated for luxurious mules, wedges, and evening slippers, and the company credits its Spanish-made soft leather slipper collection—introduced in 1969—as one of the signatures of the brand.
That heritage makes the “Made in Spain for Jacques Levine” marking particularly meaningful. Spanish production became closely associated with the label's better-quality leather slippers, and Jacques Levine still produces its signature metallic leather wedge slippers in Spain today.
This metallic color-blocked pair takes that classic Jacques Levine formula somewhere much more playful: part boudoir slipper, part disco-era shoe, and exactly the sort of glamorous everyday object that makes vintage so much fun to collect.
