Lot Essay
By family tradition, these shoes were acquired from Capezio.
Audrey Hepburn's son Sean remembers 'bundles of these shoes arriving, folded flat, fastened by a rubber band'. Audrey Hepburn may well have bought the remaining stock of ballet pumps from Capezio, when her favourite model was discontinued.
