Dubai has been chosen as one of the five global shopping locations to launch a new range of 24-carat gold shoes, with the footwear currently on sale in Dubai Mall’s Level Shoe District.
The high-heeled pump for women and a loafer for men, and both made of velvet covered in 24-carat gold, will be exclusively distributed in the top five worldwide department stores: Barneys New York, Fred Segal Los Angeles, Harrods London, The Swank Hong Kong and Level Shoe District Dubai.
The unique shoes were presented for the first time during the Monte Carlo Grand Prix and Alberto Moretti’s autumn/winter 2013 collection introduced his focus on the precious metal this year.
Made in collaboration with HORO, the brand said the style has been kept simple as the gold speaks for itself as a luxury product. Moretti's signature velvet shoe is available on the brand’s website and start at $460, while the 24 carat edition costs $2,600.
