Saint Laurent Tribute 105 Fuchsia Patent Platform Sandals - IT 3

Iconic silhouette. High-gloss colour. Unmistakably Saint Laurent.

Saint Laurent Tribute 105 Platform Sandals arrive in a striking fuchsia patent leather, bringing one of the house's most recognisable footwear designs into vivid, high-impact colour.

The signature Tribute construction combines interwoven patent leather straps across the vamp, an adjustable ankle strap and a dramatic stiletto heel set over a substantial platform. The glossy patent finish amplifies the intensity of the fuchsia, giving the sandals an unmistakably glamorous, evening-ready presence.

Despite the height, the platform creates a more wearable relationship between the heel and the foot, while the sculptural construction gives the Tribute its distinctive balance of sensuality, structure and Parisian attitude.

Why You'll Love It

The Tribute is one of those rare designer shoes that became recognisable almost immediately. The interwoven front, towering heel and platform have remained remarkably consistent, allowing the silhouette itself to become the statement.

In fuchsia patent, this pair is considerably more expressive than the classic black or nude versions. The glossy finish catches the light beautifully, making these particularly effective for evening occasions, weddings, parties and events where a strong colour statement is welcome.

Pair with a minimalist black dress and let the shoes do the talking, or use them to introduce a vivid flash of colour into an otherwise neutral wardrobe.

Perfect For

• Cocktail parties & evening events

• Weddings & special occasions

• Statement footwear collections

• Saint Laurent collectors

• Bold colour dressing

• Resort & summer evening styling

• Fashion-forward occasion dressing

Provenance

• The Tribute sandal launched in 2009 under Saint Laurent creative director Stefano Pilati, quickly becoming one of the house's defining footwear designs. 

• Its distinctive caged, interwoven front construction and towering platform were part of a broader shift towards more sensual, fetish-inspired footwear at the house during this period.

• The silhouette has remained remarkably consistent over the years, contributing to its status as a modern Saint Laurent icon rather than a short-lived seasonal style.

• The current Tribute 105 retains the signature interwoven straps, bevelled platform, adjustable ankle strap and slim stiletto heel.

• This version is crafted from patent calfskin, giving the fuchsia colour its characteristic high-gloss finish and intensifying the saturated tone.

• Patent leather is particularly effective on the Tribute because its reflective surface emphasises the shoe's sculptural construction, catching light across each individual woven strap.

• The substantial platform is more than an aesthetic feature. By reducing the difference between the height of the heel and the height under the forefoot, it makes an otherwise extreme heel considerably more wearable.

• The sandals are Made in Italy, consistent with Saint Laurent's luxury footwear production.

• The Tribute's longevity is perhaps its most interesting provenance point: more than a decade after its introduction, it remains part of Saint Laurent's active footwear vocabulary and continues to be produced in new materials and colours.

Collector's Note

The Tribute is arguably one of the defining 21st-century Saint Laurent shoes. Its significance comes from how quickly a very specific construction became a recognisable house signature.

The design arrived at a particularly important moment for Saint Laurent, when Stefano Pilati was pushing the house towards a more sensual, provocative interpretation of Parisian glamour. The caged front, towering stiletto and platform gave the shoe an almost fetishistic quality, while the precision of the construction kept it firmly within luxury footwear.

The fuchsia patent version is particularly compelling because it takes an already dramatic silhouette and removes any possibility of understatement. It is not a shoe that accompanies the outfit. It is the outfit.
