Back in 2010 we wrote to the museum of Les Arts Décoratifs (Paris) asking for info about Aldo Sacchetti. We knew they held the Aldo Sacchetti back-up collection donated by Sacchetti himself.
The museum wrote back informing us that they had 31 models from 1950s to 1985 plus many (how many?) decorated heels, all of them in storage and never exhibited.
The museum sent us three tiny snapshots and a bill attached just in case we wanted to use them for the website. We didn't.
Now three Sacchetti models from Les Arts Décoratifs of Paris can be seen at the Europeana Fashion website - but not yet in the museum site - unfortunately without further info about the rest of the collection.

FOOTNOTE
We are glad the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the LACMA, the Dutch Leather & Shoe Museum and all the others listed below don't follow the same silly policy of Les Art Décoratifs of Paris.
