Specialist note

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' and he suggests Hepburn may well have bought them en masse from Capezio, when her favourite model was discontinued.
