Marina De Golle Crocodile leather heels Himlaya

These Marina De Golle heels are made from crocodile finished in the Himalaya treatment, the graduated smoky-grey-to-creamy-white gradient named for the way it echoes snow settling over a mountain range. It is not a single colour but a transition, deeper grey through to soft white across the skin, and because the effect is achieved by carefully bleaching and dyeing each hide, with a high failure rate, no two pairs come out quite the same. Marina De Golle is an independent maison specialising in exotic leather, offering this Himalaya-style crocodile at a fraction of what the treatment commands elsewhere.

The shoe itself is an open-toe mule on a stiletto heel, a clean, uncluttered shape that puts the crocodile and its gradient front and centre. The exotic skin is naturally flexible once treated, and the interior is built for support, so it holds up through an evening rather than being purely decorative.

This pair is new, size 35, and comes with its box. At Konesseur, every piece is authenticated before listing, and because this is genuine crocodile, an exotic skin governed by CITES, cross-border shipping is subject to the relevant export and import permits.
