Giuseppe Zanotti Crystal Starburst Thong Sandals

The Find: Giuseppe Zanotti Design — the Italian house synonymous with crystal-embellished footwear long before it became an industry trend. These bronze metallic thong sandals carry an oversized starburst crystal medallion on each shoe that catches every angle of light. Marquise-cut and emerald-cut clear crystals radiate outward in a floral burst pattern, set on glittery bronze mesh straps. The stacked wood block heel makes these genuinely wearable at 3.5" while still delivering the kind of entrance that only handcrafted Italian luxury can. Zanotti crystal sandals originally retailed over $1,000, and archival styles from this production era are increasingly scarce on the resale market. These are resort-season ready, wedding-guest worthy, and collector-approved. When they're gone, they're gone.
