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. 

These artisanal flats are made in Italy from high-quality leathers. We have full transparency in our supply chain and pay 100% living wages to our workers.

    Comfy and go with everything

    Really beautiful shoes, well made. Love the subtle ivory colour brightens up outfits. They were slightly big but I put some inserts in and they are perfect.
