The Gilded Slingback — Champagne Silk Satin Kitten-Heel Slingback
The Gilded Slingback pairs a champagne silk satin upper with a gold-chain ankle detail and a 75mm kitten-tapered heel. The pointed toe keeps the line elegant, and a padded leather insole keeps it comfortable. It is the slingback to reach for when the evening runs long.
Why It Works
The slingback is enjoying a quiet resurgence, and The Gilded Slingback shows why the silhouette endures. Champagne silk satin drapes across a refined pointed toe, while a gold-chain ankle detail catches the light with every step. A 75mm kitten-tapered heel delivers the polished line of a heel without the fatigue of a stiletto, so it works from a long lunch straight through to dinner. Elegant, luminous and surprisingly easy to wear all day.

The Craft
Made in a Tuscan workshop and finished by hand under the SOOS HEELS standard, The Gilded Slingback is built around Italian materials and a full-grain Italian leather tradition. The champagne silk satin upper is set over a padded leather insole, and the slingback strap is fitted so the shoe stays put without gripping. Every edge is cleaned and closed by hand, the way our leather styles are, so the pointed toe keeps its sharp line. Discover the full process in our buyer’s guide.
Styling
The Gilded Slingback is the heel you reach for when you want polish without height. Let the champagne satin and gold chain carry the outfit — a slip dress, cropped tailoring or wide-leg trousers all work — and keep jewellery minimal so the ankle detail stays the focus. See how it sits beside our other evening styles in the style comparison, or match it with The Velvet Arch for a complete occasion wardrobe. Prefer a boot for cooler days?
