  • Cut from fluid satin with a quiet, candle-lit sheen
  • Midi length that falls to mid-calf
  • Fully lined and opaque, with French-finished inner seams
  • Concealed closure and a clean, uninterrupted silhouette

The Crispina is a midi pointed-toe stiletto court pump from the Iulia collection — a dress conceived in Rome for evening, dinners and the after-dark hours. The pointed-toe stiletto court pump is cut from fluid satin with a quiet, candle-lit sheen, fully lined so it reads opaque in daylight and flash alike.

Like every Hugo Caesar Tassi piece, the Crispina is finished by hand: a concealed closure, real linings, and seams sewn to last. It is offered in 1 colors from the imperial palette — Travertine — and built to be worn for years, not a single season.

SilhouettePointed closed-toe court pump, low-cut throat, single-piece upper, no platform
FabricHigh-shine patent-finish upper, smooth lining
LengthSuper-high stiletto heel, above 8 cm
OccasionEvening, occasion, the city after dark
CareWipe the patent with a soft damp cloth and buff dry; store with shoe trees; keep away from sharp edges and direct heat

True to size; the pointed toe runs slightly narrow, so size up for a wider foot.

Heel stands above 8 cm — a true high stiletto with no platform, so the rise is steep and best for sitting-and-standing occasions.

Model is 176 cm and wears size 38. Available in a broad European size run from 33 to 45.

Complimentary express shipping worldwide; dispatched within 1–6 business days, import duties included. Most orders arrive in 3–6 business days.

30-day returns on unworn items with tags attached. Each piece arrives in a porphyry box with the HCT seal.

For evening, pair the Crispina in Travertine with fine-gold jewelry and a barely-there heel. Add the Faustina silk scarf at the neck or wrist to complete the look.

Notes from the Atelier

The pointed court, perfected

Hugo Caesar Tassi drew Crispina for the Iulia collection — the timeless pointed-toe stiletto, cut clean and worn with everything.

The upper is a single, seam-free sweep of high-shine leather over a sharply pointed toe, with a low-cut throat that lengthens the foot. There is no platform and no strap — just the line of the shoe and the slim, tall heel beneath it.

It is the kind of pump a wardrobe is built around: precise, elegant and quietly powerful, equally at home under tailoring or an evening dress.

High shine, slim heel

A mirror-bright finish on a very slim super-high heel, offered in a curated set of colours.

The patent catches the light cleanly and reads sharp against the foot, while the slender stiletto keeps the whole shoe light in the hand. The proportions are deliberately classic — nothing to date it.

Crispina is offered in Travertine, a warm nude that flatters the leg, with Basalt black and a Vermiglio red for a stronger statement.

That high-shine finish

The satin catches the light beautifully as I walk, a soft sheen rather than a glare. Travertine is such a clever neutral too, warmer than a flat nude, so it reads expensive against bare legs.

Glides under a gown

Slipped these on beneath a floor-length dress for a winter gala and the pointed toe peeked out just so. The single-piece cut keeps the line of the foot completely uninterrupted, exactly what I wanted, no seams breaking it up.

A touch roomy on me

Genuinely lovely shoe, the Travertine satin glows and the stiletto is gloriously high. On my own foot they sit a hair generous across the top, nothing wrong with the shoe at all, just my narrow feet, so I'll pop them to a cobbler to nip the topline in. The shine and that sharp point are well worth the small tweak.

Lovely shoe, lost delivery

The court itself is exquisite, that pale stone satin gleams and the heel is deliciously steep. My grumble is purely with the handover, the driver left the box with someone along my road without a word, and I spent two evenings knocking on doors trying to work out where it had ended up. Once it was finally in my hands the shoe more than made up for the hunt.

Response from HCT Atelier

Thank you for your patience while you tracked the parcel down, and we're sorry the courier handover caused that runaround, it isn't the arrival we want for you. Do email contact@hctbeauty.com so we can look into the delivery on your behalf and make sure the next one reaches your hands directly. We're so glad the Crispina won you over once it was finally home.

Sleek to the point

Clean, sharp, no fuss. The toe is properly pointed without crushing my toes.

Stone shade is genius

I was nervous a pale court would look bridal or bland, but Travertine has this faint warmth to it that flatters. Wore them to a black-tie dinner and they lifted the whole outfit without competing with it.

Held up at my bank

I adore the shoe now it's here, the high-shine finish and the keen point are everything the photos promised. The frustration was the wait, my own bank decided to put a security hold on the first overseas payment and the order couldn't leave Rome until I'd rung them to clear it. Days lost to a phone queue, none of it the atelier's doing, and the Travertine pair was worth waiting out.

Ottavia L.✓ Verified BuyerSize 45 · 158 cm · True to size
Response from HCT Atelier

We completely understand how disheartening it is to watch an order sit while a payment clears, and we're sorry the delay stole some of the joy from the wait. These verification holds sit with the bank rather than with us, but our team at contact@hctbeauty.com is always glad to keep you posted on dispatch the moment we're given the go-ahead. It means a great deal that the Crispina lived up to the anticipation.

Heel height is no joke

Properly tall, properly steep, and I love it. If you want a quiet kitten heel this isn't your shoe, but for an evening when you want the leg lengthened dramatically, the stiletto delivers every inch.

Vanished then reappeared

Let me say first the pump is stunning, the stone satin and that towering stiletto are exactly what I hoped for. But the journey nearly broke me, the tracking froze for the better part of a fortnight with not a single scan, I assumed it was lost for good, and then with no warning it simply turned up on my step. The silence in the middle was agonising even if the shoe itself is faultless.

Benedetta C.✓ Verified BuyerSize 34 · 168 cm · True to size
Response from HCT Atelier

We're truly sorry for the worry those silent days put you through, a tracking page that stops updating mid-journey is unsettling and you deserved better visibility than that. The carrier's scans went quiet in transit, well outside our hands, but please reach us at contact@hctbeauty.com whenever a parcel goes dark and we'll chase it down with you rather than leave you waiting alone. We're heartened the Crispina arrived safe and proved worth the fright.

Photographs like a dream

Caught a candid of myself stepping out of the car and the shine on these caught the streetlight perfectly. They look like a far costlier shoe in pictures, which I did not expect at this price.

Elegant arch

The pitch of the heel is steep but the arch feels supported, not like I'm tipping forward. Slim through the whole shoe, never sloppy.

Bought for my daughter's wedding

Mother of the bride here, and I wanted refined, not matronly. These were perfect, the pale stone tone went with my champagne dress and the sharp toe kept me looking modern. Held up through the whole reception.

Quiet luxury, loud heel

Everything about them whispers except that towering stiletto, which is the bit of drama I was after. The gloss is rich without going anywhere near plasticky.

Versatile beyond evening

Yes they're billed for evening, but I've worn the Travertine pair with cropped tailored trousers to a daytime lunch and they elevated the lot. The neutral satin bridges so much of my wardrobe.

Lovely under candlelight

At a dinner lit only by candles the satin glowed softly, never garish. Such a considered colour.

Comfier than expected for the height

I braced myself for agony given how high the heel sits, but I got through a four-hour engagement party on my feet. The footbed has a little give and the pointed toe gave my toes more room than most courts I own.

Gift that landed perfectly

Sent these to my sister for her fortieth. She rang me the moment she opened the box, completely smitten with the stone colour and the mirror-like sheen. A gift that genuinely impressed.

Beautifully finished inside

The lining is smooth and the insole neatly stitched, no rough edges rubbing at my heel. You can tell from the inside out that it's properly made, not just pretty on the surface.

Worth far more than asked

Set these beside a designer pair triple the price and the Crispina holds its own on shape and shine. For under two hundred dollars the craft is remarkable.

Leg-lengthening magic

That razor point plus the sky-high stiletto does extraordinary things for the line of the leg. I look two inches taller and the proportions just work.

Arrived beautifully boxed

Each shoe was cradled in soft wrapping inside a heavy matte box with a little card from the atelier. Opening it felt like a proper occasion, not a parcel dump on the doorstep.

Coming back for another tone

This is the third HCT thing I've bought now and they've never let me down. The moment a second colourway of this court appears I'm ordering it on sight, the Travertine is that good.

Stood through a whole opera

Wore them to the opera and a late supper after, and my feet weren't begging for mercy by the encore. For a heel this fierce that's saying something.

The pointed toe is everything

Such a precise, refined point, neither stubby nor cartoonishly long. It's the detail that makes the whole shoe feel expensive and intentional.

Questions & Answers

Q
Is the satin see-through?
A

It's fully lined and completely opaque — no slip required. Only the lightest details are very slightly sheer, by design.

Q
Does it run true to size?
A

True to size through the waist and skirt. The bodice is tailored, so size up if you're fuller in the bust. See the size guide for exact measurements.

HCT Atelier · Verified · 3 weeks ago ·
Q
Is the Crispina suitable for an evening occasion?
A

Very much so — it was designed for evening, dinners and the after-dark hours. Travertine and the deeper tones read beautifully after dark; the lighter colors suit daytime.
