Tea Party replicas by Antaina, in black. Bought them from Taobao forever ago, have massive damage to the interior of the shoe, some damage to the exterior. When it is worn, you cannot tell most of the damage, making the shoes pretty wearable to this day. There is no uncomfiness that comes from the damage, despite it being in the shoe interior.

I am practically trying to give these away to someone who even knows what lolita is because I need a little bit more space in my shoe, however they are really busted from decades of wear. You only have to pay shipping to get them, which is 27€. So, the total cost of the shoe is 28€.

I couldn't get them under 1kg weight with the boxes I have to ship out the item so I could not make it any cheaper, apologies. For this reason, I'm not shipping this item outside of Europe, since the shipping cost would be 43€, i don't think it's worth it for an item in this state.

They currently retail for 50€ (in this size, large size shoes are way more costly) + at least 20€ shipping in most reseller stores, or you would have to pay an agent and customs.

Details:

  • It is supposedly a size 45 (28) but fits a size 44 (27.3) because the brand runs a little small. They fit me okay still but I damaged a nail and need my shoes to be a little oversized.
  • Matte, with a slight shine.
  • Very comfortable low heel shoes.
  • Needless to say the shoes have been deeply cleaned and treated before sale, although the damage peeling off and discolorations give a dirty look these have been scrubbed down! They have also been polished before sale.
  • I live with smokers but my items are kept away from any smoke. I own a dog, beware for allergies.

Damage:

  • Inside of the shoes are peeling in places.
  • Insoles are cracked.
  • "Antaina" tags are very faded and discolored, peeling in places. One of them was also stitched down wrong but that is a factory mistake.
  • Fabric in the inside of the shoe is worn out and gray in places.
  • The glue has yellowed, revealing some ugly orange stains on the interior of the shoe. This is not a stain from anything, it is just old glue. Pictured and circled.
  • Soles are dirty, I cleaned them but I could not remove all of the dirt . I think it's pretty removable if you insist or have better tools to clean the shoes.
  • Minor scuffs outside the shoe.
  • I used a shoe paint to spot correct some scuffs, however if you look up close in the light, you can tell the difference between the repaints and the original shoe. Circled.
  • Damage on the straps, peeling and fraying.
Tried to picture as much as possible so you know this is a serious D rank!! Looks ok worn but please buy with complete awareness and low expectations!!
