Description

The Foundation Flat - Size Chart Visual

A timeless pair that feels as good as it looks. Our signature ballet flats are expertly made by hand in Italy from rich brown leather and their sleek shape is defined by the natural curve of the foot. The directional squared toe and flattering vamp give this humble ballet pump a simple yet modern update.  Designed for everyday wear, this pair is versatile enough to wear to work and at the weekend, too.

This Cognac colour is exclusively made-to-order, it will not be available in stock. Your order is custom made for you, and only you. This helps us significantly reduce waste by eliminating excess inventory and produce in a more sustainable way.

    White in Winter? Absolutely!

    I've always wanted a pair of white shoes that weren't sneakers. These fit the bill. They're chic, comfortable and so versatile. I am typically a 7 or 7.5 US. I took these in a size 37. They're perfect.

    My 5th Pair!

    I love these shoes. Comfortable stylish and great for casual or evening. I’m slowly collecting all the colours. The leather is soft, I never get blisters, even when wearing them straight out of the box. They’re beautifully made. 💕
