Dagger Heel
The metal blade that turned Paciotti footwear into a signature.
Story & heritage
Paciotti identifies the dagger as the maison signature: the official Dagger Heels capsule describes an open ankle-strap sandal crowned by the iconic metal dagger, while current pumps and boots repeat the same dagger-finished stiletto.
The mark is rooted in a shoe house founded as a handmade factory in 1948 and relaunched under the Cesare Paciotti name in 1980; the brand is known for glam-rock details, sensual volumes and the dagger logo.
Materials & craft
Current official Dagger Heel listings specify patent leather, goat suede and black suede versions, with pointed toes, ankle straps or gathered boot shafts, all finished by the silver metal dagger heel.
How to choose & style
Treat the Dagger Heel as the statement piece: black keeps the blade precise, while the pink satin sandal leans into the capsule mood. Pumps sharpen evening tailoring; the boot is the dramatic option under a narrow hem.
