Product Details

Best-seller. We will re-stock a new version of this shoe in February.

A mid-heel court shoe in sumptuous black velvet with a twinkling black beaded trim. 

We all love a bit of sparkle and bling to cheer up our evening wardrobe and these are without doubt the prettiest and most comfortable party shoes on the market.

Velvet upper, beautiful silk brocade lining, 3cm mid heel, pretty beaded button trim (not detachable). Weather resistant. Suitable for outdoor wear.

Generous fitting. Size down if petite or half size.

Also available in dark green.

They say you shouldn't have favourites - but these are our's. Trust us - they are spectacular shoes.

A note from our founder: Many of you will remember the predecessor to this shoe with a full diamanté buckle. It may interest you to know that we were aggressively sued and our stock forcibly destroyed by a leading international shoe designer who claimed our buckles were 'similar' to his trademarked ones. This was an outrageous attack on a small company such as ours. The sparkly buckles in question are widely used by many shoe brands the world over, and our shoes look NOTHING like his in any other way. We also had to destroy our stock of square clip on buckles which bore no similarity to the buckles in question. Moving on, we do hope you will buy and enjoy the updated version of these lovely shoes.

Returns

No quibble, no reason to hesitate!  If you do not look and feel fabulous in your Mandarina Shoes or Boots you can return them to us for a full refund or exchange, providing they are unused and in re-saleable condition. Returns instructions are provided on the reverse of your invoice. 

Goods must be returned to us within 30 days for a refund, after that a credit note will be issued. If the shoes are a Christmas or birthday gift, or you are an overseas customer, we do understand that this process may take a little longer. We regret as a small business we are not able to offer free shipping or returns. Consequently delivery and postage charges are non-refundable unless your order is incorrect or faulty. For your peace of mind make sure you ask for a certificate of posting.  We cannot take responsibility for items that for whatever reason fail to reach Mandarina HQ.

We will of course post out exchange items within the UK without charging additional postage fees.

We try to be as flexible as is reasonably possible with all returns, however no items can be refunded until they are returned.

WHAT YOU TELL US.....

Very Jackie Kennedy!

Just a note to say how much I am loving my black and white bow mules I ordered! With a shift dress it is all very Jackie Kennedy! Please do let me know if you ever do them in other colours.

Yours sincerely, Gloria Nicholl

Covid Armchair Shopping!

The downside of Covid lockdown is rather a lot of armchair shopping! However it has prompted me to make my first Mandarina order and I don’t think it will be the last! Thank you!

PERFECT FIT

I received my flame mules today and just wanted to say they are absolutely beautiful and fit perfectly. I am seriously considering a pair in navy. Beautiful shoes ❤️

Absolutely Thrilled

I would just like to say that I am absolutely Thrilled with the shoes! They look like something the fairies have made, and all in their charming little bag. The turquoise trellis pumps are really great and fit perfectly.

Many Thanks, Sylvia Peile

Delighted new customer!

Hi Caroline,
Just picked my boots up from the local post office as I wasn’t expecting them to turn up already this morning. It’s less than a week since you posted them. No problems with customs either!
They fit perfectly, with enough room to take my customised arch supports, and are both as comfortable and as gorgeous as I could ever have wished for.
Many thanks from a satisfied new customer.
