1970s Yves Saint Laurent Black Suede Pirate Boots 1970s_Lydia_Martin the fit model would haveThese are Circa's favourite boots and designed by Yves Saint Laurent in the late 1970s. Made with soft black suede and turned over cuffs, finished with playful zig zag ribbon work and tied at the back with suede bows. A gently bohemian take on the classic pirate style, with a low 1. 1 inch heel for easy wear. The insides are lined in smooth gold leather with the designer's name at the bottom. Made in Italy, they are stamped Cuir (leather) on the sole.
