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.

    Beautiful shoe.

    Really nice shoe. Leather so soft and comfy. My size 36.5 made specially for me in Italy. Well worth the 6 week wait. I also have this shoe in red and am thinking of getting a pair in gold.

    So versatile and comfortable

    I love this shoe and wear it often. It’s a delicate shape but great quality construction makes it feel strong. Definitely going to get another color or two. I purchased my usual size and it is snug. If you are between sizes I would size up.
