Coach black heels of unknown (and non-current) style
Acquired from overseas charity store
In moderate used condition
Appraised at US$200+ (probably $250-300 range) when brand-new, according to store staff
Leather uppers considered quite difficult for maintenance due to the surface very hard to buff to proper glossy/lustre state (as in other kid/calf uppers)
Within weeks after polishing, upper surface will become dull again and requires re-polish
Features patent-wrapped heel (not my personal taste) which is a huge contrast to the proper leather uppers
Leather insole liner also very susceptible to liquid, ie. when wettened it requires extensive air drying to restore to original state (very important procedure for purpose of moisture removal)
Definitely a rarity to HK audiences due to all Coach footwear NOT being marketed locally (only handbags and other accessories)
