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.

I ended up exchanging this colour for the chocolate - the ivory is beautiful but I figured a darker colour would hold up better against marks. The process of exchanging was easy, and the shoes were worth the pre-order wait. They were comfortable out of the box. I love the shape, it feels very unique and I'm already keen to buy another colour someday.
A note on fit - I have narrow feet and there's a very slight gap on one side. So others with similarly narrow feet may need to consider an insole or custom pair. I otherwise found the length true to my usual 37 size.

My work staple that has also turned into my casual staple since it is so comfortable!! This is my second pari - first was white and after 3 months of regular wear they are still looking great.

These are the perfect dress-up and dress-down flat. They are chic and effortless while also being comfortable - a huge win! They are beautifully made and despite being white, they really hold up. I will definitely be purchasing additional pairs in other colors - would love to see a butter yellow!

Lovely shoes. The leather material is super comfortable, feels like good quality gloves. Love them from the first second. The only concern I have is how will they last if to wear in the city. Im super scared to scratch them against the pavement, the sole is quite thin and the heel low.
